House Bill No. 7263 aims to expand the membership of the Transforming Children's Behavioral Health Policy and Planning Committee by adding three new members. The new members include two providers of substance abuse treatment services for young adults, who will be jointly appointed by the three chairpersons of the committee, and the Behavioral Health Advocate or their designee. This change is intended to enhance the committee's expertise and representation in addressing children's behavioral health issues.

Additionally, the bill makes several modifications to the existing membership structure. It removes the requirement for a child or youth advocate to be appointed by the chairpersons of the committee and replaces the Healthcare Advocate with the Behavioral Health Advocate, ensuring that the committee remains focused on relevant expertise. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2025, and is expected to have no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as the members of the committee are not compensated for their service.
