 STATE OF NEW YORK

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 (Prefiled)

 January 8, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. BROUK -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Mental Health

 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to establishing a state-
 wide youth mental health advisory board

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and
 2 declares that poor mental health outcomes for youth is a public health
 3 crisis that poses a threat to the health, wellbeing, and quality of life
 4 for youth now and in the future. The legislature acknowledges the need
 5 for youth voice and youth leadership in advocating for themselves and
 6 others regarding mental and behavioral needs. Amongst the shortage of
 7 behavioral and mental specialists, lack of representation within margi-
 8 nalized communities, and insufficient funding infrastructure and oppor-
 9 tunities for appropriate school-based services, the legislature hereby
 10 finds the importance in establishing a dedicated board to support youth
 11 in their mental and behavioral needs by increasing youth participation
 12 in state government. A dedicated board would provide advancement in
 13 creating policies that aid in improving youth outcomes in an effort to
 14 address and resolve the youth mental health crisis in New York.
 15 § 2. The executive law is amended by adding a new article 19-E to read
 16 as follows:
 17 ARTICLE 19-E
 18 NEW YORK YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH ADVISORY BOARD
 19 Section 461. New York youth mental health advisory board.
 20 462. Organization and membership.
 21 463. Powers and duties.
 22 464. Report.
 23 § 461. New York youth mental health advisory board. There is hereby
 24 established a New York youth mental health advisory board (advisory

 1 board) to examine, evaluate, confer and provide recommendations for the
 2 needs and concerns related to the mental health of youth now and in the
 3 future. The New York youth mental health advisory board shall formally
 4 advise and make recommendations regarding the issues enumerated in
 5 section four hundred sixty-three of this article.
 6 § 462. Organization and membership. 1. There shall be an oversight
 7 committee to the advisory board established by this article which shall
 8 be composed of the temporary president of the senate, the speaker of the
 9 assembly, the chair of the senate mental health committee, and the chair
 10 of the assembly mental health committee, or their designees. The over-
 11 sight committee shall be responsible for appointing members to the advi-
 12 sory board and overseeing their activities, functions and duties.
 13 2. The youth mental health advisory board shall consist of seventy-two
 14 members as follows:

 16 geographic, socioeconomic, cultural, and religious backgrounds of the
