| Fiscal Note | ||||||
| Current biennium cost increase - General Fund | ||||||
| Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
| The Department of Health and Human Services will require additional General Fund appropriations to perform the required assessments and support the additional service costs that will result from a moratorium on the elimination of children's mental health services. The exact amount required can not be determined at this time. The governor's proposed budget for the 2008-2009 biennium, LD 499, includes several proposals that effect children's mental health services. This estimate of fiscal impact may need to be revisited based on the final legislative actions on LD 499. | ||||||
