What this means
The committee heard an oversight discussion about how New York City connects people to mental health services, then filed that item. It also held hearings on two introductions: one about reporting and publishing mental health emergency response data, and another about creating a 988 task force and a public education campaign on mental health awareness. Both introductions were laid over, which means the committee did not finish action on them at this meeting.
