A04276 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A4276
 
SPONSOR: Cunningham (MS)
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to direct the commissioner of mental health to conduct a study of child- and youth-targeted mobile crisis outreach teams   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To conduct a study of child- and youth-targeted mobile crisis outreach in order to learn more about the specific needs of children and youth in mental health crisis and how state resources can be used to assist them.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 provides definitions. Section 2 outlines the study. The commissioner of mental health shall conduct a study on child- and youth- targeted mobile crisis outreach teams. The study will include, but is not limited to: reviewing the current landscape of child- and youth-tar- get mobile crisis outreach in New York, identifying gaps, analyzing challenges in implementation of child- and youth-targeted mobile crisis outreach teams and identifying solutions, and making recommendations for best practices and implementation guidance. Section 3 requires the commissioner to report to legislative leadership and the governor on the findings no later than one year after this act's effective date. Section 4 provides for an immediate effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Mobile crisis outreach teams are deployed in the community to assist individuals experiencing emotional and behavioral crisis situations and their families by providing face-to-face crisis intervention services, clinical assessment, supportive counseling, and information and refer- rals. Mobile crisis response fills an important healthcare gap for chil- dren and youth in particular. Mobile response can result in fewer emer- gency room visits, more compassionate treatment, access to services regardless of insurance, better attendance at school, and fewer arrests at school. Broad consensus exists that mobile response programs are appropriate and helpful for children and youth. Yet, we do not know enough about the landscape of child- and youth-targeted mobile crisis outreach in New York State. This bill will mandate a study that includes identifying gaps and challenges for child- and youth-targeted mobile crisis outreach and making recommendations for best practices and implementation. With the results, our state will be better equipped to serve the needs of children and youth experiencing mental health crises.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2023-24: A8015 - reported referred to ways and means   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: To be determined   EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately.
