SUMMARY



Synopsis of Bill



The bill appropriates $39.0 to contract for provision of substance abuse outpatient treatment services in the southeastern area of McKinely county.



FISCAL IMPLICATIONS



The bill appropriates $39.0 in general fund in FY01 to the Department of Health (DOH).



DOH indicates HB233 was introduced on behalf of Eastern McKinely Counseling (a private foundation located in Thoreau) and is meant to supplant their loss of liquor excise tax funding.



CONFLICT/DUPLICATION/COMPANIONSHIP/RELATIONSHIP



DOH indicates HB2/aHAFC and SB2 already contain funding in FY01 in the Behavioral Health Services Division of DOH to fund the Navajo Nation, Rehoboth McKinely Christian Hospital, and Na Nihzhoozhi Center to serve McKinely county.





TECHNICAL ISSUES



DOH indicates the appropriation is intended for Thoreau which is located in south central, not southeastern, McKinely county.
