The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 244, aims to establish a task force that will study the feasibility of repurposing old schools into regional mental health clinics specifically designed for minors. The task force will explore the potential for these clinics to provide a range of services, including transportation, housing, education, and counseling, to support minors dealing with significant mental health issues.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to formalize the creation of the task force and its objectives. The overarching goal is to enhance mental health care accessibility for minors by utilizing existing school facilities, thereby addressing both educational and mental health needs in a comprehensive manner.
