The
general
assembly
finds
that
as
of
the
time
11
of
enactment
of
this
section,
the
funding
appropriated
12
in
this
section
is
sufficient
to
eliminate
the
need
13
for
continuing
,
instituting,
or
reinstituting
waiting
14
lists
during
the
period
addressed
by
the
appropriation.
15
However,
the
process
implemented
by
the
risk
pool
16
board
shall
ensure
there
is
adequate
funding
so
that
17
a
person
made
eligible
for
services
and
other
support
18
from
the
waiting
list
would
not
be
required
to
return
19
to
the
waiting
list
if
a
later
projection
indicates
the
20
funding
is
insufficient
to
cover
for
the
entire
period
21
all
individuals
removed
from
the
waiting
list
pursuant
22
to
this
section.
23
d.
The
funding
provided
in
this
section
is
intended
24
to
provide
necessary
services
for
adults
in
need
of
25
mental
health,
mental

until

finds
there
is
need
to
31
reform
the

health
and

services
32
system
administered
by
counties
to
address
the
needs
33
of
persons
with
mental
illness,
mental
retardation,
or

developmental

Issues

uniformly
37
available

of
uniformity
in

expenditures
39
throughout
the
state.
40
c.
Disparity
in
county
levy
rates
for
the
services
41
funds
for
this
system.
42
d.
The
need
to
improve
the
array
of
community-based
43
services
and
services
to
avoid
the
use
or
continued
use
44
of
crisis
services.
45
e.
The
need
to
expand
the
availability
of
dual

diagnosis
mental
health
and
substance
abuse
services.
47
f.
The
need
to
improve
the
consistency
of

48
available
to
both
youth
and
adult
populations.
49

The
need
to

In
order
to
address
the
issues
identified
in
8
subsection

the
committees
on
human
resources,
9
appropriations,
and
ways
and
means
of
the
senate
and
10
house
of
representatives
shall
propose
legislation
to
11
address
the
following
actions
by
the
dates
indicated:
12
a.
Phase-in
of
the
state
fully
assuming
the
13
nonfederal
share
of
the
costs
for
Medicaid
program
14
services
now
borne
by
counties
by
the
implementation
15
date
of
the
Medicaid
eligibility
changes
under
PPACA.
16
b.
Provide
property
tax
relief
and
equity
by
having
17
the
state
assume
a
greater
role
in
funding
the
adult
18
mental
health
and
disability
services
system
from
19
counties
by

when

21
c.
Shift
the
balance
of
responsibilities
for
the
22
services
system
between
the
state
and
counties
so
23
that
the
state
ensures
greater
uniformity
and
there
24
is
sufficient
size
to
develop
effective
services
25
while
maintaining
the
county
role
of
bringing
local
26
resources
together
in
unique
ways
that
best
meet
the
27
needs
of
clients,
by
implementing
a
new
services
system

structure
by
