Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment removes General Fund appropriations to the Department of Health and Human Services to correct a clerical error. This bill limits housing assistance paid by a municipal general assistance program for a person residing in a recovery residence with 26 or more beds (large recovery residence) to 70% of the maximum level of housing assistance for a person in a recovery residence with 25 or fewer beds and requires the Department of Health and Human Services to reimburse municipalities for 100% of the 70% paid for a person in a large recovery residence. The changes in the bill are cost neutral to the department.
