Introduced Text

Montana HB884 establishes a behavioral health trust fund to support various behavioral health programs and services.

Montana HB884 creates the Montana Behavioral Health Trust Fund, overseen by a board appointed by state officials. The fund aims to support behavioral health services and activities, including mental health in schools, crisis care, and housing for those transitioning from institutional care. The board can accept gifts, grants, and donations for the fund, which is not subject to appropriation. The interest from an endowment is transferred quarterly to the fund. The board determines grant priorities, evaluates service effectiveness, and reports to the legislature.
