HB 964 -- Mental Health Pilot Project

Sponsor:  Donnelly

Beginning September 1, 2007, this bill requires the Department of
Mental Health to establish a pilot project that creates four
assertive community treatment teams.  Assertive community
treatment means a team-treatment approach designed to provide
comprehensive, community-based psychiatric treatment,
rehabilitation, and support to persons with serious and
persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia.  The teams can
provide services either throughout the state or in designated
pilot project areas.

Beginning July 1, 2008, the department is required to submit an
annual report to the House of Representatives Budget Committee
and the Senate Appropriations Committee on the pilot project
results, assessment, evaluation, and any recommendations for the
expansion of the project.
