Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill amends the Mental Health Code to allow psychiatric hospitals and units to temporarily use licensed inpatient psychiatric beds for adults or minors when needed for patient care, as long as safety, staffing, and treatment rules are met. This temporary use does not change the bed's official designation or affect certificate of need reviews. The bill also updates language regarding the director's role in coordinating and regulating psychiatric hospitals.
