In January 2019, the Commission to Study Mental and Behavioral Health in Maryland was created by the Governor (Executive Order 01.01.2019.02)..
The Commission is to review the Strategic Plan: 24/7 Crisis Walk-in and Mobile Crisis Team Services produced by the Behavioral Health Advisory Council in 2017. To identify local differences in the impact of mental illness, regional summits will be conducted across the State. Further, the Commission is to advise and assist the Governor in improving access to mental health services statewide.
In May 2019, four members were added to the Commission, and also a requirement for an annual report (Executive Order 01.01.2019.06).
