The resolution proposes an interim study to investigate access to play therapy in Nebraska, a recognized mental health intervention particularly beneficial for young children. The study aims to explore various aspects, including the effectiveness of play therapy, challenges families face in accessing these services, current state regulations, billing issues, educational requirements for practitioners, and how other states manage play therapy. Additionally, it will assess the need for potential statutory or administrative changes and whether increased state funding is necessary to enhance play therapy access.

The Health and Human Services Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this interim study. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, ensuring that the insights gained from the study can inform future legislative actions regarding play therapy in the state.
