Crisis care study for people with disabilities
The law reestablishes a New Hampshire commission upon passage to study gaps in behavioral crisis services. It focuses on people with mental illness whose impairment is mainly due to intellectual disability. The commission must examine gaps caused by the state's legal definition of mental illness. It must plan legal, regulatory, and service changes covering acute crisis care, ending care, and services after discharge, including expected costs. It must also assess whether New Hampshire needs an acute crisis center. The 12-member commission includes lawmakers, state health officials, community providers, a disability rights representative, and a family caregiver. Its first meeting must occur within 30 days after the law takes effect; six members form a quorum. Legislative members receive mileage reimbursement at the legislative rate for commission duties. An interim report is due November 1, 2025, and a final report is due November 1, 2027. The commission provision ends November 1, 2027. The law does not itself provide crisis services or change who qualifies.
