The Behavioral Health Bill
State expands behavioral health fund coverage for withdrawal debt
Behavioral health fund payments for uncollectible withdrawal management debt provided, span of eligibility for behavioral health fund services extended, pilot program established, and other behavioral health provisions modified.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let the state pay off unpaid detox bills and let more people qualify for behavioral health services.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill could help people stuck with costly withdrawal treatment bills and give low‑income families a better chance to get mental‑health help, but it will cost the state budget.
