An Act relative to mental health funding

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to redirect 10 percent of sports wagering revenues into the Behavioral Health Outreach, Access and Support Trust Fund. The change lowers the overall percentage of these funds allocated to mental health services from 45 percent to 35 percent. By adjusting these allocation figures, the legislation modifies how gambling proceeds are distributed among various health-related programs. The policy directly impacts the funding levels available for behavioral health initiatives and the specific trust fund established to support them.
