Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "freeze unsafe closures now act". S 2. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that the state has recently announced its intent to downsize and close numerous facili- ties operated by the office of mental health and the office for people with developmental disabilities.
