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, it seeks to remove the legal language found in RSA 135-F:3, III(l) that mandates the implementation of MTSS-B, which is designed to provide a structured approach to support children's mental health within educational settings. The repeal signifies a shift away from this established framework for addressing behavioral health and wellness in schools.

The bill includes an effective date, stating that the repeal will take effect 60 days after its passage. Additionally, the Office of Legislative Budget Assistant has indicated that it is currently unable to provide a fiscal note for the bill due to pending information from the Department of Health and Human Services. The departments of Education and Health and Human Services have been contacted regarding this matter.
