Fiscal Note
HB0198 - Assertive Community Mental Health Treatment Pilot Program
State Impact:
Enactment of this bill will require an appropriation for three years from the General Fund and from federal Medicaid funds to the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health to provide community mental health treatment to seriously mentally ill individuals. The FY 2011 General Fund appropriation of $490,800 is higher than FY 2012 under the assumption that Medicaid collections will be 20 percent less in the first year due to client counts being lower in the initial months of the pilot program. FY 2013 costs for the pilot program will be similar to those shown in FY 2012.
| Funding Source | FY 2010 Approp. | FY 2011 Approp. | FY 2012 Approp. | FY 2010 Revenue | FY 2011 Revenue | FY 2012 Revenue |
| General Fund | $0 | $370,000 | $370,000 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| General Fund, One-Time | $0 | $120,800 | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| Federal Funds | $0 | $458,100 | $572,600 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| Total | $0 | $948,900 | $942,600 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
Individual, Business and/or Local Impact:
Individuals with serious mental illness remaining in their own homes or in the community as a result of this program as well as their family members may benefit from this bill. An unspecified local government unit to which the pilot program would be awarded would incur costs and may benefit from enactment of this bill. There would be no measurable direct cost or benefit for local businesses.
