1111 1 AN ACT concerning health.
1212 2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
1313 3 represented in the General Assembly:
1414 4 Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
1515 5 Children's Mental Health Local Collaborative Transformation
1616 6 Fund Act.
1717 7 Section 5. Purpose. The General Assembly finds that
1818 8 children with emotional disturbances or who are at risk of
1919 9 suffering those disturbances often require services from
2020 10 multiple service systems, including mental health, social
2121 11 services, education, corrections, juvenile court, health, and
2222 12 employment and economic development. To better meet the needs
2323 13 of these children, it is the intent of the General Assembly to
2424 14 establish an integrated children's mental health service
2525 15 system that:
2626 16 (1) allows local-service decision makers to draw
2727 17 funding from a single local source so that funds follow
2828 18 clients and eliminates the need to match clients, funds,
2929 19 services, and provider eligibilities;
3030 20 (2) creates a local pool of State, local, and private
3131 21 funds to procure greater medical assistance through
3232 22 federal financial participation;
3333 23 (3) improves the efficiency of use of existing
