Group: Health & Human Services - Department of Human Services

Agency: Human Services

Line Item: Mental Health Therapist Grant

Function

This program was created by H.B. 453, Rural Mental Health Professional Education Aid (1994 General Session). The program was established to increase the number of mental health therapists practicing in underserved rural areas of the state. In order to accomplish this, the department was authorized to provide grants to mental health therapists in order to repay loans taken by them for educational expenses. These grants would be in exchange for their agreement to practice for a specified period of time in underserved rural areas in the state.

Funding Detail

The law stipulates that appropriations for this program shall be a separate line item to the department in the annual appropriations act and that any funds appropriated to this program are nonlapsing. Funding for this program was eliminated during the 2008 Second Special Session of the Legislature and removal of all related statutory language was accomplished during the 2009 General Session of the Legislature.
