The bill, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 1241, aims to expand the CRISIS Initiative pilot program, which focuses on providing support and services for individuals in crisis, throughout the state of Connecticut. The legislation mandates that by January 1, 2026, the Division of State Police, in collaboration with the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, implement this expansion.

The new legal language introduced in this bill includes a requirement for the Division of State Police to take action on the expansion of the CRISIS Initiative, while there are no deletions from current law specified in the text. The overall purpose of the bill is to enhance mental health support and intervention services across the state, thereby improving the response to individuals experiencing crises.
