This bill proposes to appropriate $25,000,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026 to the Arizona health care cost containment system specifically for the construction and support of five secure behavioral health residential facilities. These facilities will cater to individuals who are seriously mentally ill and resistant to treatment, as determined by court orders. The bill outlines the geographic distribution of the facilities and mandates that the Arizona health care cost containment system administration prioritize entities that can open within twelve months of the bill's effective date.

Additionally, the bill introduces requirements for entities receiving funding to evaluate clinical and functional outcomes through various quantitative and qualitative methods. It specifies metrics to be reported, including clinical outcomes, independent living skills, program participation, and physical health indicators. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Arizona health care cost containment system administration report these evaluations annually to key state officials and exempts the appropriation from lapsing provisions under current law.
