The bill establishes a new system to support children in crisis by creating a children and youth multisystem care coordinator position within the governor's office. This coordinator will oversee the appropriate allocation of resources and actions by state agencies to assist children in crisis and their families. The coordinator will also have access to flexible funds to facilitate safe hospital discharges and long-term placements for dependent children. Additionally, the bill mandates the development of a rapid care team, which will work to identify and connect children in crisis with necessary services and living arrangements, with implementation required by January 1, 2024.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the process for referring children in crisis to the rapid care team, which can be initiated by various stakeholders, including family members, educators, and healthcare providers. The bill includes provisions for reporting on the team's effectiveness and the challenges faced in supporting children in crisis, with initial and final reports due to the legislature by November 2023 and November 2024, respectively. The section establishing the rapid care team will expire on June 30, 2025, and the bill is contingent upon specific funding being provided by June 30, 2023, in the omnibus appropriations act; otherwise, it will be null and void.
