Explanation

(This amendment adds $2.0 million from the general fund in fiscal year 2020 for individuals who are in need of intensive and/or specialized neurobehavioral treatment and services in the Commonwealth. Funds will be used to provide instate treatment options that could include residential treatment, wraparound behavioral services and specialized behavioral therapy to prevent unnecessary, costly and often inappropriate institutionalization. The Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services surveys of state funded programs revealed that more than 300 of their clients are in need of and would benefit from such services.)
