 33    in such a manner as provided by rule by the state mental health authority.
 34        (4)  Nothing  in  this  chapter  shall preclude the regional mental health

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 16938

This legislation is a recommendation of the Interim Committee on
Mental Health and Substance Abuse that met during the past summer and
fall of 2006.  This legislation modifies and expands the state mental
health authority development grant program to include substance abuse
services.  Additionally, the legislation authorizes grant awards to
include multi disciplinary proposals that encompass the departments
of corrections, juvenile corrections, and the courts as well as the
regional mental health boards.  Also, depending on funding
availability, development grants could be awarded on an on-going
multi year basis.  


                           FISCAL NOTE

Any fiscal impact is dependent on a legislative appropriation in any
given year.  This year, there is a request from the Interim Committee
on Substance Abuse and Mental Health to the Joint Appropriation and
Finance Committee to fund the mental health development grant program
with $2,000,000 of one-time appropriations and another $1,400,000 of
on-going appropriations.
