The bill includes
a one-time General Fund appropriation to the Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) of $75,000 in fiscal year 2020-21 to fund the first half of
an 18-month pilot project to deliver behavioral health services by licensed
mental health professionals in clinical reproductive and sexual health care
settings to provide for greater screening of, access to and care coordination
of behavioral health services for populations at risk for mental health
issues and substance use disorder. It is the intent of this bill that an
additinal $75,000 be appropriated in fiscal year 2021-22 for the same
purpose.
The bill requires the DHHS, to the maximum extent possible, to utilize the
state funding received for the pilot project to maximize the receipt of
federal funds for use on the pilot project. If the DHHS is not able to
receive federal or other grant funding to run the pilot, additional state
funds may be required. |
