The Honorable Stephen Owens, Chairperson
House Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 546-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Owens:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2033 by House Committee on Corrections and Juvenile
Justice
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2033 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2033 would add a definition of behavioral health crisis to the Kansas code of care for
children. The bill would change “mental health crisis” to “behavioral health crisis” in statutes
regarding law enforcement officers taking a child into custody, when a court may issue a temporary
order of custody, the criteria used to refer and admit a juvenile to a juvenile crisis intervention
center, and when expenditures can be authorized from the Evidence-Based Programs Fund of the
Department of Corrections. The bill would add substance abuse related services to what juvenile
crisis intervention centers must address and would add behavioral health conditions into the
definition of “likely to cause harm to self or others.”
The Office of Judicial Administration indicates enactment of the bill would have a
negligible fiscal effect on the Judicial Branch. The bill would not have a fiscal effect on the
Department of Health and Environment, the Department for Children and Families, or the
Department of Corrections. Any fiscal effect associated with HB 2033 is not reflected in The FY
2024 Governor’s Budget Report.
Sincerely,
Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
