Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Faster transfers to aid mental health agency

Beginning July 1, 2026, the Commissioner can ask the state budget office to request early tax transfers to General Revenue. This lets the state allocate money to the mental health agency sooner. It helps the agency pay bills on time and avoid cash flow problems.

Keep mental health help for veterans

Beginning July 1, 2026, $1,300,000 is reserved to maintain services for veterans and their families. The money comes from the agency’s prior appropriations. This helps keep counseling and related supports in place.

Mental health funds for court order and growth

Beginning July 1, 2026, $39,620,911 is set aside to meet a federal court consent decree (case 23-cv-81-GKF-JFJ). Another $3,000,000 must support program growth and replace lost federal match dollars. Both amounts come from the agency’s prior appropriations. This keeps required services running and fills gaps from reduced federal funding.

More state funding for mental health

Beginning July 1, 2026, the state adds funding for the mental health agency. $12,185,650 comes from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Fund, from money not already allocated. $1,200,000 comes from the General Revenue Fund, also from unallocated money. The money supports the agency’s work for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.

More support for the 9-8-8 lifeline

Beginning July 1, 2026, the mental health agency can move $5,969,463 to the 9-8-8 Lifeline Revolving Fund. The money comes from the agency’s existing and new appropriations. This supports the statewide 9-8-8 crisis line and related services.
