An act relating to the first certification of an emergency examination

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill expands the types of health care professionals who can complete the first certification for an emergency mental health examination. Currently, only certain psychiatrists can do this, but the bill would allow other licensed professionals like nurses, physician assistants, social workers, counselors, and therapists to perform this certification. This change aims to make these certifications more accessible, especially in areas where psychiatrists are scarce.
