Bill > HB1713

This bill provides a $2,000,000 appropriation from the State General Fund to the Board of Supervisors of Marshall County specifically to help fund the construction and development of a Crisis Stabilization Unit for the fiscal year 2025-2026. A Crisis Stabilization Unit is typically a short-term medical facility designed to provide immediate psychiatric and mental health assessment, treatment, and support for individuals experiencing acute mental health emergencies. The bill outlines that the State Treasurer will disburse the funds through warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer upon proper requisition, and the appropriation will become effective on July 1, 2025. By allocating these funds, the state aims to support Marshall County in establishing a critical mental health resource that can provide immediate intervention and support for individuals in mental health crisis, potentially reducing emergency room visits, preventing unnecessary hospitalizations, and offering timely mental health care.
