Summary: LC 2849 — Create a Special Revenue Fund for Future Construction of Behavioral Health Facilities

Overview

  • Bill Number: LC 2849
  • Title: Create a special revenue fund for future construction of behavioral health facilities
  • Status: Draft died in process (LC).
  • Introduced: December 11, 2024
  • Classification/Subject: Appropriations; State Finance; Revenue; State

Purpose and Intent

The bill is titled to create a dedicated special revenue fund intended to support the future construction of behavioral health facilities. In short, its aim would be to establish a separate funding mechanism to finance capital construction projects in the behavioral health sector.

Key Provisions (as described in available information)

  • The bill would create a new special revenue fund specifically for future construction of behavioral health facilities.
  • Details such as the fund’s exact funding sources, governance, eligible expenditures (planning, design, construction, etc.), administration, and reporting requirements are not provided in the available summary. As a result, the precise mechanics (who administers the fund, how dollars are deposited/appropriated, and what projects qualify) remain unspecified in the provided information.
  • Because the text is not fully available, the potential regulatory framework, oversight, and accountability provisions (audits, annual reports, sunset provisions, etc.) are not stated here.

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • State agencies and officials: Likely involved in establishing, administering, and appropriating to the new fund if enacted.
  • Behavioral health system stakeholders: Potential beneficiaries of future capital projects (construction of facilities), subject to the fund’s eligibility rules and timing.
  • General public: Indirectly affected through potential changes to state capital priorities and capacity to expand behavioral health infrastructure.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Introduced: December 11, 2024 (Drafter Assigned).
  • Legislative Action: The bill’s status shows it progressed as a draft and, as of May 27, 2025, is shown as “Draft Died in Process,” meaning it did not advance toward passage in its current form during that session.
  • Current Status: Died in process; no enacted law from this bill. If reintroduced in the future, it would require new committee referral, hearings, and votes.

Potential Implications if Enacted (Generic)

  • Establishment of a dedicated funding stream for capital projects related to behavioral health facilities, potentially improving planning and execution of construction projects.
  • Possible reallocation or designation of state resources to support long-term infrastructure for behavioral health services.
  • Creation of governance and reporting requirements to monitor fund usage and project outcomes (dependent on the bill’s final text).

Notes

  • The available information is limited to the bill’s title, general purpose, and status. Without the full text, exact funding sources, eligible expenditures, governance, and reporting provisions cannot be confirmed. The bill died in process in May 2025 and would need to be reintroduced and refined to advance.
