HB 1146
Requires Maryland's Behavioral Health Crisis System to integrate 9-8-8 with crisis services, expand mobile teams and centers, and report outcomes annually starting 2026.
I can’t find the Oklahoma bill text for HB 1146 (title: “Revenue and taxation; county severance tax; election; apportionment; Oklahoma Tax Commission; effective date”) among the documents you supplied. The files you attached include multiple different HB 1146 bills from other states (Maryland, Hawaii, North Dakota, Illinois, Arkansas, Indiana) on unrelated topics.
Please confirm which of the following you want summarized, or provide the Oklahoma HB 1146 text or a link to it:
- The Oklahoma HB 1146 on county severance tax (your requested title) — please provide the bill text.
- One of the supplied bills (I can summarize any of these — e.g., Maryland’s HB 1146 on behavioral health crisis/9‑8‑8, Illinois’ bag ban HB 1146, North Dakota retirement HB 1146, Hawaii pass‑through tax HB 1146, Arkansas Attorney General appropriation HB 1146, Indiana military relief HB 1146).
To be helpful while you decide, below is a ready-to-use, comprehensive summary of the Maryland HB 1146 (Behavioral Health Crisis Response System — this is the bill most fully represented in your documents). If you want the Oklahoma bill instead, send the text and I’ll produce a similar summary.
Purpose and intent
- Require Maryland’s Behavioral Health Crisis Response System to integrate a State 9‑8‑8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in each jurisdiction/region, coordinate with the national 9‑8‑8 network, and expand outcome evaluation and public reporting to support crisis diversion and system improvement.
Key provisions and changes
- Replace or reframe “crisis communication center” requirement to explicitly require a State 9‑8‑8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in each jurisdiction/region as part of the statewide Crisis Response System.
- Require each local 9‑8‑8 center to coordinate with the national 9‑8‑8 Lifeline to provide: supportive counseling, suicide prevention, crisis intervention, referrals, and direct dispatch or warm hand‑offs to mobile crisis response, stabilization services, and other immediate services.
- Mandate coordination with local entities (local behavioral health authorities/core service agencies, police, 3‑1‑1, 2‑1‑1, EMS, other hotlines, behavioral health providers).
- Expand required program elements (e.g., walk‑in crisis services, mobile crisis teams, crisis stabilization centers, community crisis bed registry, transportation coordination, crisis residential beds, 23‑hour holding beds, emergency psychiatric services, crisis intervention teams, family intervention teams).
- Strengthen evaluation requirements: jurisdictions/regions must track and report 9‑8‑8 call/text/chat volume and local answer rates; resolution pathways (phone, mobile dispatch, transfer to 9‑1‑1); mobile crisis dispatch volume, response time, and resolution (community resolution vs. transfer to higher level care); crisis stabilization center usage and discharge outcomes (home vs. higher level care).
- Require outcomes data to include ongoing consumer/family input collected from 9‑8‑8 and other crisis providers and annual crisis services metrics on law enforcement involvement, involuntary status, and diversion from higher levels of care (including hospitals).
- Require data to be collected, analyzed, disaggregated (race, gender, age, zip code), and publicly reported annually on or before December 1 each year, beginning in 2026.
- Effective date: July 1, 2025.
Who is affected
- Maryland Department of Health/Behavioral Health Administration (implementation, data collection, reporting).
- Local behavioral health authorities, crisis providers, 9‑8‑8 call/text/chat providers, mobile crisis teams, crisis stabilization centers, law enforcement, EMS.
- Consumers and families who use crisis services.
- Local health departments and providers that already collect similar data may see limited incremental burden; MDH estimated one part‑time epidemiologist to oversee data systems and reporting (general fund costs).
Procedural/timeline aspects
- Bill enacted with July 1, 2025 effective date.
- Annual public reporting begins by December 1, 2026.
- Fiscal note indicated state general fund costs for a 0.5 FTE epidemiologist beginning FY2026 and ongoing operational costs.
