Bill > SB281

This bill allocates funds from the Fund for a Resilient Nevada (created from opioid litigation proceeds) and the State General Fund to support several targeted programs during the 2025-2027 biennium. Specifically, the bill provides $2.5 million to Clark County, Washoe County, and the Division of Child and Family Services to support young adults (ages 18-23) transitioning from foster care to independent living, with specific allocations for each entity across two fiscal years. Additionally, the bill appropriates $11.9 million from the State General Fund to the Division of Public and Behavioral Health to establish jail-based behavioral health programs, with $6.4 million allocated to Clark County and $5.5 million to Washoe County. The bill also appropriates up to $750,000 from the Fund for a Resilient Nevada (or from the State General Fund if necessary) to the University of Nevada, Reno's Center for the Application of Substance Abuse Technologies to develop an online graduate certification program in co-occurring behavioral health and wellness. All appropriations have provisions requiring any unspent funds to be reverted to their respective funds by September 17, 2027, and the act is set to become effective on July 1, 2025.
