Fiscal Detail and Notes
The amendment eliminates the one-time General Fund appropriation to the Department of Health and Human Services of $1,875,219 in fiscal year 2025-26. The amendment also removes the requirement that the annual report on firearm fatalities and hospitalizations from the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention within the Department of Health and Human Services include the number of mental health referrals for individuals assessed as presenting a likelihood of foreseeable harm,  and instead require the report to include the number of assessments made, the number of individuals who received a referral for an additional mental health assessment, and any aggregate demographic information about those individuals that can be released without risking individual identification.
