LANG-SCOTT. (RADOGNO) New Act Creates the Mental Health Services Community Reinvestment Act. Provides that whenever any appropriation, or portion thereof, for any fiscal year relating to the funding of any mental health facility operated by the Department of Human Services is reduced because of the closing of any mental health facility, the reduction in the number of available beds in any mental health facility, or a reduction in the qualifications required of staff employed in any mental health facility, those funds shall be added to the funds appropriated to the Department of Human Services to be used for mental health services in the same community service area as the mental health facility whose funding is being reduced or eliminated. Provides that this provision shall not be circumvented and that, with 2 exceptions, the total amount of funds appropriated in any fiscal year for mental health services shall not be reduced below the amount appropriated for the previous fiscal year, adjusted for inflation. Effective January 1 of the year following the year it becomes law. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. In provisions requiring funds reduced from appropriations for certain mental health purposes to be otherwise used in the same community service area as the one in which funds were reduced, provides that the funds may also be used for a mental health facility that will have responsibility for any portion of the service area of the mental health facility whose funding is being reduced, and for the Chester Mental Health Center. 99-01-28 H FILED WITH CLERK 99-01-28 H FIRST READING 99-01-28 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 99-02-02 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE MENTAL HEALTH 99-03-02 H AMENDMENT NO. 01-MENTAL HEALTH H 99-03-02 H ADOPTED 99-03-02 H DO PASS AMENDED/SHORT DEBATE 012-000-000 HMHP 99-03-02 H PLACED CALENDAR 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-03-02 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR SCOTT 99-03-16 H SECOND READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-03-16 H HELD ON CAL ORDER 2ND RDG - SHORT DEBATE 99-03-17 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-03-19 H THIRD READING/SHORT DEBATE/PASSED 116-000-002 99-03-22 S ARRIVE IN SENATE 99-03-22 S PLACED CALENDAR ORDER OF FIRST READING 99-03-23 99-03-22 S CHIEF SPONSOR RADOGNO 99-03-22 S FIRST READING 99-03-22 S REFERRED TO SENATE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 99-03-25 S ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE PUBLIC HEALTH 99-04-20 S POSTPONED 99-04-27 S POSTPONED 99-04-27 S COMMITTEE PUBLIC HEALTH 99-05-08 S RE-REFERRED TO RULES COMM/RULE 3-9(A) RULES 01-01-09 H SESSION SINE DIE END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
