The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 366, mandates a study of police policies concerning wellness checks. It requires the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection to collaborate with the Departments of Mental Health and Addiction Services and Public Health to examine and report on the existing policies and procedures of both the State Police and municipal police departments related to wellness checks.

The purpose of this bill is to ensure a comprehensive review of how wellness checks are conducted by law enforcement agencies, potentially leading to improved practices and better outcomes for individuals in need of assistance. There are no deletions from current law noted in this bill, as it primarily introduces new requirements for the study and reporting process.
