OFA Fiscal Note
No Fiscal Impact
The amendment strikes the language and its associated fiscal note. It
requires the Departments of Children and Families (DCF) and Public
Health (DPH) to develop a plan to promote access to mental health
services for children and youth in certain regions of the state. This has
no fiscal impact as DCF and DPH have the staff expertise to complete
such a study.
The amendment states that mental health service providers who staff
any school-based mental health clinic may receive additional training.
They may participate in the social-emotional learning and restorative
practices training provided to teachers and administrators of the schools
governed by their local or regional board of education. This has no fiscal
impact.
