Rhode Island S2883 authorizes the Department of Children, Youth and Families to license mobile response and stabilization services.

Rhode Island S2883 amends the General Laws to authorize the Department of Children, Youth and Families to license mobile response and stabilization services, which are behavioral health crisis intervention systems for children and young adults up to 21 years old. The department will issue, deny, and revoke licenses for these services, and monitor their operation. The bill also retains the department's responsibility for investigating complaints of abuse and neglect at daycare and childcare facilities, with appeals going to the Rhode Island Family Court. The act takes effect upon passage.
