Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB4923 by Lopez, Ray (Relating to the administration of a grant program to support community mental health programs for veterans and their families.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would lower the matching requirements for the grant program for mental health services for veterans and their families for programs that serve counties with a population of 250,000 or more from 100 percent to 50 percent. It is assumed that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The bill could have a positive fiscal impact on local governments that would be required to provide a smaller match for grant funds, but a specific estimate cannot be provided at this time.
