The Senate Resolution No. 10, reported by the Senate Committee on Appropriations, seeks approval for a settlement agreement in the case of Isaiah Lindsay, et al. v. Nancy Navaretta, which involves the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. The resolution authorizes expenditures from the General Fund budget exceeding $2.5 million, specifically allocating approximately $3.5 million for fiscal year 2027 and $7 million for fiscal year 2028. The settlement aims to ensure the timely discharge of individuals from Whiting Forensic Hospital who are deemed clinically ready to transition to community mental health services.

The agreement, signed on March 26, 2026, mandates the state to modify its policies and practices to facilitate the transition of individuals committed to the Psychiatric Security Review Board. It also includes provisions for funding independent reviewer services and legal fees. The implementation of the agreement is contingent upon final court approval and is set to last for seven years, with the possibility of early termination or extension based on compliance. If the General Assembly does not approve the settlement within the specified timeframe, the agreement will become null and void.
