Read the official explanation
This bill relates to the support of police and community response teams. The bill appropriates $500,000 from the general fund of the state to the department of health and human services (HHS) for fiscal year 2024-2025 to support police and community response teams. The bill directs HHS to distribute the funds through grants awarded to qualified applicants on a competitive basis; and to establish application procedures, requirements, priorities, and minimum and maximum grant award amounts. Qualified applicants shall be nonprofit organizations providing a mobile crisis intervention program that is a collaboration between the local police department and trained human services providers who respond to nonemergent, noncriminal police calls involving mental illness, family conflict, substance use disorder, or behavioral situations. Moneys appropriated that remain unexpended or unobligated at the close of the fiscal year shall not revert but shall remain available for expenditure for subsequent fiscal years.
