This bill mandates that emergency departments in general hospitals provide essential information to parents or guardians of children experiencing a mental health crisis. Specifically, it requires these departments to supply details about care management organizations, including contact information for local organizations that can assist families in need.
Additionally, the bill defines a care management organization as a county-based, nonprofit entity that offers face-to-face care management services for youth with complex needs and their families. The legislation is set to take effect 90 days after its enactment.
