House Bill 19 amends the Education Code to require a local mental health authority to employ a non‑physician mental health professional to serve as a mental health and substance use resource for a public school district located in the region served by a regional education service center and in which the authority provides services. Implementation of a provision of this bill by a local mental health authority is mandatory only if a specific appropriation is made for that purpose.
