The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7263, aims to amend the composition of the Transforming Children's Behavioral Health Policy and Planning Committee. The bill repeals and replaces subsection (b) of section 2-137 of the general statutes, effective October 1, 2025. Key changes include the addition of new members to the committee, specifically two jointly appointed providers of substance abuse treatment services for young adults, and the inclusion of the Behavioral Health Advocate alongside the existing Child Advocate.

Additionally, the bill removes the requirement for certain appointments to include a child or youth advocate and the Healthcare Advocate, while maintaining the overall structure of the committee. The revised committee will consist of various stakeholders, including members from the General Assembly, behavioral health service providers, representatives from children's hospitals, and state agency commissioners, ensuring a comprehensive approach to addressing children's behavioral health issues in the state.
