Modernize Behavioral Health Terminology in Colorado Revised Statutes

Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

Senate Bill 17-242 updates Colorado’s laws by replacing outdated terms related to behavioral health, mental health, alcohol abuse, and substance abuse with more modern language. For example, it changes references from old department names to the current "office of behavioral health." This bill affects anyone involved in or affected by Colorado's behavioral health services, including patients, healthcare providers, and policymakers. Since the status is "signed," this means the bill has been approved by both houses of the legislature and signed into law by the governor, so these changes are now official.

Official Summary

The bill updates and modernizes terminology in the Colorado Revised Statutes related to behavioral health, mental health, alcohol abuse, and substance abuse. Based on specific contexts, the new terminology refers to behavioral health disorders, mental health disorders, alcohol use disorders, or substance use disorders. Outdated references to the 'unit in the department of human services that administers behavioral health programs and services, including those related to mental health and substance abuse' have been corrected to use the actual current name of that office, which is 'the office of behavioral health in the department of human services'. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
