Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Governor-led team for kids' behavioral health
The governor’s office supports and coordinates state agencies to follow the Washington Thriving plan, as resources allow. The office sets up executive coordination when private or other nonstate funding is available. A children and youth behavioral health leadership council now meets and includes state agencies, people with lived experience, a work group member, and two tribal nominees. The governor’s office may accept private or nonstate funds for this work. This does not limit the Legislature from funding it later.
Plan to improve kids' behavioral health
The Health Care Authority hires a facilitator and an analysis team through competitive procurements, with input from work group cochairs. The analysis covers statewide needs, gaps, costs, proven practices, and workforce strategies, with stakeholder input. The advisory group met by Sept 1, 2022, reports progress in 2022 and 2024, and delivers a draft plan by Aug 1, 2025. The work group adopts a final plan with its 2025 annual report. State agencies must align their children and youth behavioral health work with the plan and use outcome-based, equitable measures.
Stronger school behavioral health support
The work group creates a school-based advisory group for preschool through grade 12. The group helps design a tiered system to find students who need help, link them to services, and teach age-appropriate behavioral health. The goal is better learning and health results for students.
Work group rules and member payments
Members with lived experience can receive up to $200 per meeting day when they are not also paid by an employer. Legislative members get travel reimbursement under RCW 44.04.120; nonlegislative members who are elected officials or attend for an employer do not. Other nonlegislative reimbursements follow chapter 43.03 RCW. The governor appoints two tribal representatives nominated by the governor’s Indian health advisory council to participate; this does not replace formal tribal consultation. Some appointed members after June 6, 2024 have a three-year term limit; earlier appointees may serve until Jan 1, 2027. The work group now runs through Dec 30, 2031. HCA staffs the work group; OSPI staffs the school group if funded; legislative members receive staff support.
