Fiscal Analysis

The bill would amend the Government Code to require the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to create a pilot grant program for the purpose of supporting community mental health programs providing services and treatment to veterans with mental illness.

Methodology

It is assumed that $10,000,000 in General Revenue per fiscal year will be used for grants for veterans mental health services. Both the House and Senate introduced General Appropriations Bills include a rider that allocates $10,000,000 in General Revenue per fiscal year for this purpose. 

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
