     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Timely Mental Health for Foster Youth Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This bill requires an initial mental health screening within 30 days after a child enters foster care. In the case of a child for whom a mental health issue is identified in such initial screening, a comprehensive assessment of the child's mental health must be completed within 60 days after the child's entry into foster care.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The Department of Health and Human Services must provide technical assistance for states to implement this requirement and collect data and report on the number of screenings completed.&lt;/p&gt;
