HB 2819 creates a licensing and regulatory framework for outpatient behavioral health centers, which provide partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient mental health services. The Health and Human Services Commission will oversee licensing, fees, inspections, and compliance enforcement, including penalties for violations. The bill requires outpatient behavioral health centers to meet new state standards while exempting facilities already regulated under other mental health statutes.
