Relates to requiring certain fees be deposited into the mental illness anti-stigma fund
This bill requires that application fees for operating certificates (such as those for healthcare facilities) be deposited into the mental illness anti-stigma fund instead of general state funds. It amends a mental hygiene law to redirect these fees to the specific fund established under state finance law, which supports programs reducing stigma around mental illness. The policy change directly affects entities applying for operating certificates by altering where their fees are allocated.
