IN RE:
HB2618 by Walle (Relating to the maternal peer support pilot program for perinatal mood disorder.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the Health and Human Services Commission to establish and operate a maternal peer support pilot program to reduce the risk for and manage the effects of perinatal mood disorders in women through peer support services at federally qualified health centers. The pilot program would be established in three counties meeting certain criteria.
The Health and Human Services Commission indicates that there would be some cost associated with the implementing the bill. This analysis assumes that these costs could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
