The proposed legislation, 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 bill 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.
This act introduces new legal language that establishes the requirement for the expansion of the CRISIS Initiative, while there are no deletions from current law noted in the text. The initiative is designed to enhance the state's response to mental health crises by ensuring that necessary resources and support systems are more widely available.
