Page 401, after line 41, insert:

"O. Out of this appropriation, $8,774,784 from the general fund the second year is provided from a transfer from Item 322 for Community Services Boards and a Behavioral Health Authority to divert admissions from state hospitals by purchasing acute inpatient or community-based psychiatric services at private facilities.  This funding shall continue to be allocated to Community Services Boards and a Behavioral Health Authority for such purpose in an efficient and effective manner so as not to disrupt local service contracts and to allow for expeditious reallocation of unspent funding between Community Services Boards and a Behavioral Health Authority.)



Explanation

(This amendment adds language clarifying the use of funding transferred from Item 322 Grants to Localities to Item 321 in the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services central office. The move of the funds is intended to make it easier for Community Services Boards and a Behavioral Health Authority to access the funding more efficiently and to reallocate unspent dollars in an expeditious manner.)
