SB 144 appropriates state funding to establish a crisis stabilization unit, which is a facility designed to provide short-term mental health and behavioral support to people in crisis as an alternative to emergency room visits or hospitalization. The bill declares this funding an emergency appropriation, meaning the money becomes available immediately rather than waiting for the standard budget cycle.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
