| This resolve establishes the Commission to Study Access to |
| Prescription Medication for Persons with Mental Illness. The |
| commission is directed to assess the limitations to access to |
| prescription medication presented by the availability of treating |
| psychiatrists in various counties in the State, whether |
| medication is being prescribed in situations in which other |
| mental illness interventions might be more appropriate, and |
| whether prescriptive authority for psychotropic drugs should be |
| extended to other health care professionals. |
