Complete·6/6/25

Nebraska LB454 amends regional behavioral health authority duties and the Behavioral Health Services Fund.

Nebraska LB454 modifies the duties of regional behavioral health authorities, requiring them to develop and coordinate publicly funded behavioral health services within their regions. The bill also establishes the Behavioral Health Services Fund, which is to be used for housing-related assistance for very low-income adults with serious mental illness or substance abuse disorder. The fund can also be used for behavioral health services if certain conditions are met. The bill repeals the original sections 71-809 and 71-812, replacing them with new provisions.
