CONTENT

 

The supplemental would make appropriations of $539.1 million Gross, $17.5 million General Fund/General Purpose (GF/GP) for fiscal year (FY) 2021-22 primarily reflecting the appropriation of Federal funds provided to the State in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Of this amount, $522.3 million would be sourced from the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund (SFRF) established under the Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), with the remainder sourced from GF/GP. The largest GF/GP item in the bill is a $15.0 million fund shift from local funds to GF/GP for Medicaid mental health services in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). This fund shift would occur only if Senate Bills 597 and 598 are enacted into law. Other items in the bill, all Federally funded unless noted, for the DHHS include $100.0 million for infrastructure grants for pediatric inpatient services, $50.0 million for community mental health services integration readiness, $25.0 million for the clinical integration fund, $25.0 million for crisis stabilization units, $25.0 million for Michigan essential health provider loan repayment, $25.0 million for psychiatric residential treatment facilities, $25.0 million for State psychiatric hospital capital outlay; and several other items detailed in Table 2.

 

The bill also would appropriate $31.0 million SFRF to the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity. Of this, $30.0 million would support the career path apprenticeship program, and $1.0 million for a Michigan enhancement grant for the McLaren Greenlawn Hospital in Lansing for a behavioral health pilot project.
