Children's Behavioral Health Transformation Initiative. This Act establishes a Children's Behavioral Health Transformation Officer. The Officer shall lead the State's comprehensive, interagency effort to ensure that youth with significant and complex behavioral health needs receive appropriate community and residential services and that the State-supported system is transparent and easier for youth and their families to navigate. The Officer shall serve as a policymaker and spokesperson on children's behavioral health, including coordinating the interagency effort through legislation, rules, and budgets and communicating with the General Assembly and federal and local leaders on these critical issues. An Interagency Children's Behavioral Health Services Team is established to find appropriate services, residential treatment, and support for children identified by each participating agency as requiring enhanced agency collaboration to identify and obtain treatment in a residential setting. Responsibilities of each participating agency shall be outlined in an interagency agreement between all the relevant State agencies. (Source: P.A. 103-546, eff. 8-11-23.)
