Fiscal Analysis
The bill would authorize the Health and Human Services Commission, in
assisting communities in the state in developing comprehensive,
community-based support and delivery systems for long-term care services,
to provide a grant to a community-based organization or combination of
such organizations.
In order to receive the grant, the community-based organization would be
required to at least partially match the state grant with money or other
resources. The organization would be authorized to combine the funds
from a variety of state, local, or private sources to accomplish the
purpose of the proposal.
Methodology
The Health and Human Services Commission would assume that an average
grant would be $300,000 and that five grants would be awarded in 2002,
ten in 2003, 20 in 2004, and 25 in 2005 and 2006. The Health and Human
Services Commission further estimates that there would be no increased
administrative costs to the commission to administer the program.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
