Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to create a pilot program to establish school-based mental and behavioral health services for students and families as an alternative to the standard disciplinary measures.
The Department currently has the following initiatives for school-based services.
1) The Department’s Bureau for Behavioral Health currently funds Expanded School-based Mental Health grant programs in 44 schools and is currently in the process of awarding funding for 18 additional sites.
2) The Department’s Bureau for Behavioral Health funds 6 schools in Kanawha County through a grant with WV Department of Education. This funding was a one-year federal State Opioid Response grant that was extended for an additional year due to COVID delays.
3)The Department's Bureau for Medical Services currently covers certain school-based health services (not related to mental health) for qualified Medicaid individuals through fee for service. They must have an individualized Education Plan (IEP) to access these services.
The legislation indicates in §18A-5-9 (e) that this section may not be construed to require additional expenditures by the state. Therefore, the Department does not anticipate additional costs relating to this legislation unless the pilot would increase the number of children currently being served by the programs currently offered.
