1 29 EXPLANATION
1 30 This bill relates to county eligibility for state payment
1 31 of the allowed growth factor adjustment for county mental
1 32 health, mental retardation, and developmental disabilities
1 33 (MH/MR/DD) services.
1 34 Current law limits the maximum levy for a county's MH/MR/DD
1 35 services fund to a base year expenditure amount less the state
2 1 property tax relief payment amount to be received by the
2 2 county. The law provides for state payment of an allowed
2 3 growth adjustment amount to address increased costs. The bill
2 4 conditions a county's eligibility for the county's portion of
2 5 the state's allowed growth adjustment appropriation on the
2 6 county levying the maximum amount allowed for the MH/MR/DD
2 7 services fund. This eligibility condition is first applicable
2 8 to levies for fiscal year 2003-2004.
2 9 For fiscal year 2002-2003, a county must levy at least 70
2 10 percent of the maximum amount allowed for the county's
2 11 MH/MR/DD services fund in order to be eligible to receive the
2 12 county's portion of the allowed growth appropriation.
2 13 If a county does not meet the eligibility requirement, an
2 14 ineligible county's portion of the appropriation is to be
2 15 divided among the eligible counties.
