Legislative Action Centers On Medical Administration Changes
The House debates a bill reshaping state hospital administration and mental health director qualifications.

A potential floor amendment may require the director to be a psychiatrist to oversee the mental health program. The bill faces strong opposition and Goverson oversight as the passage timeline advances.
