Fiscal Detail and Notes
The bill includes a one-time General Fund appropriation to the Department of Public Safety of $219,376 in fiscal year 2025-26 for consulting costs to convene the stakeholder group to study whether tianeptine should be added to the list of scheduled drugs and report the results.
Any additional costs to the Department of Health and Human Services, the Governor’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future and the Judicial Branch to participate in the stakeholder group are expected to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
