What it does
The bill would establish a grant program to fund mental health screenings and referrals for individuals entering or leaving prisons and jails, requiring states and localities to hire mental health liaisons, develop screening tools, and create outreach teams to connect individuals with severe mental illness to care. It also mandates the Bureau of Prisons to implement a similar program and creates an Advisory Board to oversee implementation, evaluate outcomes, and ensure compliance with data-sharing and impact assessment requirements. Funding of $100 million is authorized for the Attorney General to carry out the Act.
