Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Mental Health Early Action on Campus Act. Provides that the expert panel designated by the board of trustees to develop and implement policies and procedures shall be comprised of at least 2 administrators, 2 members of faculty, and one mental health professional. Requires each public college or university to provide at least 3 on-site licensed clinical professional counselors or licensed clinical social workers.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. In provisions concerning local partnerships, provides that each public college or university shall provide at least 3 licensed mental health professionals (instead of 3 on-site licensed clinical professional counselors or licensed clinical social workers) or less than 3 if the benchmark ratio falls under 3. Provides that the mental health professionals must be employed by the public college or university. Provides that service hours for the mental health professionals should be informed by campus utilization data and may include in-person and telehealth modalities to ensure access to the mental health professionals. Removes language requiring the professionals to be available on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. excluding holidays.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that each public college or university shall provide at least 3 licensed mental health professionals or, if the benchmark ratio falls under 3, at least the number of licensed mental health professionals required by the benchmark ratio (rather than providing an exception requiring each public college or university to provide at least 3 licensed mental health professionals or less than 3 if the benchmark ratio falls under 3). Removes language requiring the mental health professionals to be employed by the public college or university. Provides instead that the mental health professional may be provided either in (i) a part-time, on-campus capacity or (ii) a full-time, on- or off-campus capacity.
