HB2430

Establishes the "End Hospital Institutionalization Act" to address boarding of patients in hospitals.

The "End Hospital Institutionalization Act" aims to address the issue of medically stable patients being boarded in hospitals. It mandates the Department of Mental Health to provide case management and treatment, including residential or inpatient treatment, for individuals with developmental disabilities, serious mental illness, or substance use disorder. The state will reimburse hospitals for boarding costs. The act also requires immediate intervention for children being boarded in hospitals, ensuring they are placed in appropriate settings and receive proper treatment.
