and Representative Van Beber, co-prime bill sponsor, presented Senate Bill
22-181, concerning the Behavioral Health Administration's plan to address
issues regarding the delivery of behavioral health-care services in this
state. The bill requires the Behavioral Health Administration to
create and begin implementing a Behavioral Health Care Provider Workforce
Plan by September 1, 2022. The workforce plan must be made in collaboration

and community colleges to provide job shadowing, internship, incentives,
loan repayment, scholarships, marketing, and other programs to increase
the behavioral health workforce. The plan also must include expanding the
peer support professional workforce; aligning workforce standards; raising
awareness among providers of opportunities to invest and strengthen their
behavioral health care staff; and proposals to work with local law enforcement,
the Peace Officer Standards and Training Board, and a peace officer organization
to provide behavioral health-related training.
