Requires documents utilized by state agencies, public authorities and municipalities to replace the term "emotionally disturbed person"

Changed the required terminology from 'emotionally disturbed person' to 'person experiencing an emotional crisis' in all state and municipal mental health-related documents and forms.

Added new sponsors to the bill (Lucas, Anderson, Hooks, Burroughs, O'Pharrow, Jackson) and updated the legislative history to show the bill was amended and reprinted.

Changed the section number from 170-i to 170-j in the executive law, and updated the bill number from A4762 to A4762-A.

The effective date remains unchanged - the new terminology must be used by January 1, 2026, with an 180-day implementation period after the law becomes effective.
