RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the recommendation of the Behavioral Health Services Director to adopt the Mental Health Services Act Three Year Program and Expenditure Plan Update for Fiscal Years 2019/20; and AUTHORIZE and DIRECT the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to send a letter to that effect to the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) to inform DHCS and the MHSOAC of their approval of the adoption of this Plan Update.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of the Mental Health Services Act Three Year Program and Expenditure Plan Update, Fiscal Year 2019/20 assures continued MHSA funding for Fiscal Year 2019/20 in the amount of $54,751,349.

BACKGROUND:

Proposition 63 was passed by California voters in the November 2004 election. Now known as the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), the legislation provides public mental health funding by imposing an additional one percent tax on individual taxable income in excess of one million dollars. There are a total of five MHSA components which have been enacted out over time by the State with the goal of creating a better program of mental health services and supports in California’s public mental health systems. The five components include: Community Services and Supports; Prevention and Early Intervention; Workforce Education and Training; Capital Facilities and Technology; and Innovation. There are multiple programs operated within each component. This is a state mandated program under Welfare & Institutions Code.
