FISCAL CONTROLS: Provides relative to reporting on federal and state funding of mental health services (EN NO IMPACT See Note)
This bill requires state agencies and school districts to provide more detailed reports on how federal and state funds are used for mental health services. The key change mandates that these reports include specific information such as the budget unit, program description, funding sources, and demographic data including the number of individuals with disabilities. By standardizing these reporting requirements, the legislation aims to increase transparency regarding the allocation and use of public money for mental health programs.
