Senate Bill 633 amends the Government Code to provide for the formation by the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) of local mental health authority groups in rural areas to increase the capacity of the authorities in a group to provide access to needed services in those areas. Among other provisions, the bill provides for the development by HHSC of a mental health services development plan for each group and for the evaluation of such a plan. Implementation of a provision of this bill by HHSC is mandatory only if a specific appropriation is made for that purpose.
