Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Earmarked support for crisis care and veterans

Beginning July 1, 2026, the Department must move $5.97 million to the 9-8-8 crisis lifeline fund. It must use $3 million to grow programs and replace lost federal matching funds. It must spend $39.62 million to meet a federal court consent decree (case 23-cv-81-GKF-JFJ). It also sets aside $1.3 million to maintain services for veterans and their families.

Early tax transfers steady agency cash

Beginning July 1, 2026, the Commissioner can ask, through OMES, for early transfers of tax collections to General Revenue. This lets the state send money to the Department sooner to fix cash‑flow gaps. It helps the Department keep services running on time.

New funding for mental health services

Beginning July 1, 2026, the state provides $12.19 million from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Fund to the mental health agency. It also provides $1.2 million from the General Revenue Fund for the same year. The money covers the Department’s duties through June 30, 2027. This helps keep mental health and substance use services available statewide.
