This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $1,500,000 from the state General Fund for Fiscal Year 2027 to the University of Arizona specifically for the direct costs associated with the Arizona Perinatal Psychiatry Access Line (APAL). This funding aims to enhance mental health support for pregnant and postpartum patients by providing resources to healthcare providers.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from lapsing, meaning the allocated funds will not expire at the end of the fiscal year as typically required under current law. This change ensures that the funds remain available for their intended purpose without the risk of being returned to the state treasury.
