Allows use of the Behavioral Health Services Fund for individuals with substance use disorder.

Nebraska LB722 amends the Behavioral Health Services Fund to include support for individuals with substance use disorder. The fund, managed by the division, provides grants, loans, and assistance for community-based behavioral health services. It also offers housing-related assistance for very low-income adults with serious mental illness or substance use disorder, including rental payments, utility deposits, and landlord risk mitigation. The fund can transfer money to the General Fund as directed by the Legislature.
