Resolve, to Alleviate the Behavioral Health Workforce Shortage by Allowing the Training and Granting of Behavioral Health Certifications by Community-based Agencies and Hospitals

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to change its rules by January 1, 2026. These changes would allow community-based agencies and hospitals to train and certify their own staff for certain behavioral health positions, such as mental health rehabilitation technicians. The department would also end its contracts with outside groups for this training and stop requiring outside approval for these certifications.
