BILL NUMBER: S7044

SPONSOR: WEBB
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the education law, in relation to establishing the
mental health educational opportunity program

 
PURPOSE:

To provide additional educational opportunities for students at SUNY to
enroll in academic programs that lead to a degree or degrees required
for licensure in any of the mental health professions.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill adds a new section 6457 to the education law and
requires SUNY to provide special programs for the screening, testing,
counseling, and tutoring of (1) graduates of an approved high school or
individuals who have attained a New York state high school equivalency
diploma or its equivalent, as determined by the commissioner, (2) who
have potential for the successful completion of a post-secondary program

that lead to a degree or degrees required for licensure in any mental
health profession, and (3) are economically and educationally disadvan-
taged.

Section 2: Requires SUNY to formulate a general plan for the organiza-
tion, development, coordination and operation of the program.  Requires
the plan to be transmitted to and reviewed by the regents. Outlines how
state appropriations can be spent for the program. Requires the SUNY
Trustees to submit an annual report to the Director of the Budget, chair
of Senate Finance and the Chair of Ways and Means committee.

Section 3: Effective Date

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Our state and our country are facing a mental health crisis. Action is
needed to encourage more students to go into the mental health field in
order to meet the growing demand for mental health and behavioral health
professionals. There is also a huge disparity between the current demo-
graphic make-up of behavioral health professionals and the general popu-
lation. There is a particular shortage of multi-lingual professionals
which continues to drive disparities in access to treatment for those
who are not proficient in the English language.

SUNY's EOP program has proven successful, and we need to build on its
success to meet the needs of our state. SUNY can play an integral role
in fostering the next generation of mental health professionals by
supporting them as they navigate graduate school, getting credentialed,
and opening up opportunities through internships.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined.
 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
