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 emphasizes the importance of utilizing existing school infrastructure to address the growing mental health needs of young individuals. By focusing on the reuse of old schools, the task force seeks to create accessible and comprehensive care options for minors, thereby enhancing the support system available for their mental health challenges.
