A bill to amend the District of Columbia Code to broaden the composition of the District of Columbia Commission on Mental Health.

Amends the District of Columbia Code to require eight members of the District of Columbia Commission on Mental Health to be health care professionals (psychiatrists, Ph. D. psychologists, M.S.W. social workers, or psychiatric nurses) practicing in the District, each of whom has not less than five years' experience in the treatment of mental illnesses. (Current law requires the eight to be physicians who have been practicing medicine in the District.)

Provides that such members shall serve on a part-time basis and may practice their profession during their tenure of office. States that such members may not participate in the disposition of a case in which they rendered professional service or advice.
