Amend CSSB 1, on page II-77 of the Department of State Health Services bill pattern by adding the following text:

Mental Health Program Allocation. Out of funds appropriated above, the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) is directed to use $37,000,000 in General Revenue over the biennium for the purpose of expanding or improving statewide community mental health services. It is the intent of the legislature that DSHS allocate these funds equitably to the local mental health authorities considering the per capita spending of each organization, among other funding parameters.
