This bill proposes the repeal of the statewide use of the multi-tiered system of supports for behavioral health and wellness (MTSS-B) in New Hampshire schools, specifically targeting the legal language in RSA 135-F:3, III(l). The repeal signifies the removal of the requirement for the implementation of MTSS-B, which is designed to support children's mental health through a structured approach in educational settings. The bill does not introduce any new funding or positions and is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.

The fiscal impact of the bill is indeterminable, as it does not provide specific funding or appropriations. While the Department of Health and Human Services indicates that the repeal may lead to an increase in children requiring higher levels of care, the potential costs associated with this are not quantifiable. The Department of Education also states that it cannot determine the fiscal implications of the repeal. Overall, the bill aims to eliminate the existing framework for behavioral health support in schools without establishing a clear financial plan for the potential consequences of this change.
