Fiscal Note
Status:
The fiscal note reflects the introduced bill, which was recommended by the Joint
Budget Committee as part of its FY 2021-22 supplemental budget package.
Summary of Legislation
This bill makes a technical change to the American Rescue Plan Act/Home- and Community-Based
Services Account in the Healthcare Affordability and Sustainability Fee Cash Fund to allow the
Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to spend amounts attributable to the Healthcare
Affordability and Sustainability Fee as state-only funds on behavioral health-related initiatives.
Assessment of No Fiscal Impact
This bill, in conjunction with HCPF's S10 supplemental budget request, provides technical language
to facilitate an expenditure identified in Senate Bill 21-286. No appropriation is required, as money
from the ARPA-HCBS Account in the HAS Fee Cash Fund will be appropriated in FY 2022-23.
As such, this bill is assessed as having no fiscal impact.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect upon signature of the Governor, or upon becoming law without his signature.
