Bill > HB0028

This bill extends the repeal dates for various programs and committees within the Department of Health and Human Services and other state agencies, meaning these programs will continue to operate for longer periods before their scheduled expiration. For example, the Rare Disease Advisory Council Grant Program and the Newborn Hearing Screening Committee, which were set to expire in 2026, will now continue until 2036. Similarly, several committees and programs related to behavioral health, such as the Behavioral Health Crisis Response Committee and the Mobile Crisis Outreach Team Grant Program, will have their sunset dates extended from late 2026 to mid-2029. The bill also adjusts the repeal dates for other initiatives, including those related to substance use, health data, tourism development, and various grant programs, with most extensions pushing expiration dates further into the future, some as far as 2036. Additionally, the bill includes a specific appropriation for the Rare Disease Advisory Council and sets an effective date of May 6, 2026.
