The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 374, 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, 2027, the Division of State Police, in collaboration with the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, implement this expansion.
The bill introduces new legal language that establishes the requirement for this expansion, specifically noted as Section 1 from passage New section. Additionally, it includes a statement of purpose that emphasizes the goal of requiring the Division of State Police to broaden the reach of the CRISIS Initiative. There are no deletions from current law in this bill, as indicated by the section, which only contains instructions on how to interpret the proposed changes.
