What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits the Department of Health Services (DHS) from requiring a

mental health clinic or a licensed treatment professional to designate a school site

as a clinic office in order to provide outpatient mental health services at the school.

Currently, DHS administrative rules require clinics to provide outpatient mental

health services only at their offices except where therapeutic reasons show it is

appropriate to use an alternative location.
