Establishes a plan setting forth an itemized list of grantees for 2026-2027 providing Public Health and Mental Health programs and services
This bill establishes a funding plan for the 2026-2027 fiscal year to distribute state grants to various organizations providing public health and mental health services. It specifically allocates money to programs such as the Project Guardianship Hotline, the Transgender Wellness and Equity Fund, LGBT health networks, school-based health centers, and sickle cell initiatives. The legislation lists specific approved recipients and the exact dollar amounts each organization will receive, requiring formal Senate approval to finalize the expenditure.
