Fiscal Detail and Notes
The amendment removes the General Fund appropriations to the Department of Health and Human Services of $122,308 in fiscal year 2025-26 and $127,855 in fiscal year 2026-27 for one Health Program Manager position. The department has indicated that this position is needed to implement the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Prevention and Support Program established in the bill. As this amendment provides no funding for the position, the impact of these new unfunded costs on other programs in the DHHS cannot be determined.
The amendment retains ongoing Other Special Revenue Funds allocations of $500 beginning in fiscal year 2025-26 to establish the Healthy Brain Initiatives Council program and allow for receipts from other funding sources and expenditures.
