Governor Signs Mental Health Law
Governor JB Pritzker is signing a new law to increase access to mental health care in Illinois. The idea is to make care more readily available by strengthening the state’s mental health workforce. The law lets those who have been out of the profession for less than five years reactive their state license, and makes it easier for advanced practice R-N’s to treat patients. The law also creates a tax credit for qualified employers who hire people in recovery from a substance use disorder or mental illness.
