A Arkansas House bill would move all non-criminal psychiatric patients from Little Rock to Benton or Jonesboro State Hospital units. The Benton plan follows a recent unit closure and a legislative study found lower operating costs there. The measure aims to centralize inpatient care where costs are cheaper and to revive the two regional facilities.
