Bill overview
This bill creates a statewide tele-psychiatry program within the New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS). It aims to provide timely psychiatric assessments and treatment to individuals experiencing mental health or substance abuse crises, particularly in rural areas, by connecting patients with consulting providers at remote sites. The program will be overseen by DHS, which will contract with a partner organization to administer it and regularly report on its effectiveness. The bill also allocates $4 million to fund the program’s establishment and operation.
