Abstract
Throughout her years of public service, Senate President Pro Tempore Mary Kay Papen has been a tireless champion for New Mexican families and their loved ones with mental illness, her own family and grandson among them. She could be counted on to sponsor legislation to improve the lives of those with mental illness, such as that establishing assisted outpatient treatment as an alternative to hospitalization and incarceration. In 2016, she sponsored legislation to limit the use of confined isolation by correctional institutions for inmates with serious mental illness and to require private prisons to report settlements with inmates. In 2019, she succeeded in passing legislation to make behavioral health clinics owned by local governments eligible for behavioral health capital funding.
