The bill establishes the "Bipartisan Blue Ribbon Behavioral Health Statutory Review Committee," which will operate until June 30, 2027. This committee will consist of subject matter experts appointed by the New Mexico legislative council, focusing on evaluating and enhancing behavioral health policies to better serve marginalized populations. Additionally, the committee will form a "Criminal Justice Policy Collaborative Task Force" to provide insights on criminal justice practices needing improvement. The committee is tasked with proposing statewide policies for trauma-informed treatment programs and developing recommendations for reforming New Mexico's behavioral health laws, with a report due by October 1, 2026.

To support the committee's work, the bill appropriates $300,000 from the general fund for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, which will cover staff salaries and expenses related to the committee and task force. Members of the committee and task force who are not public employees will receive per diem and mileage compensation as outlined in the Per Diem and Mileage Act. The bill emphasizes the importance of modernizing the behavioral health system in New Mexico through comprehensive evaluation and reform.
