The bill outlines a transfer schedule for the Community Behavioral Health Promotion and Prevention Trust Fund, as mandated by Section 2E of Chapter 9 of the Acts of 2025. This fund is dedicated to promoting positive mental, emotional, and behavioral health among children and young adults, as well as preventing substance use disorders in this demographic. The Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) General Appropriations Act (GAA) allocates $200,000 for this purpose, with monthly transfer amounts specified in an attached schedule.
New legal language has been inserted to include an "OT Schedule Summary" and to specify a transfer amount of $200,000 for June 2026. This addition aims to ensure clarity in the financial planning and execution of the fund's objectives throughout the fiscal year. The Comptroller of the Commonwealth, William McNamara, has committed to notifying the relevant committees of any changes to the transfer schedule.
