Assumptions:

There is $100,000 per fiscal year in the current Department of Health budget for suicide prevention.  That amount plus the appropriation in the bill would provide that each county could receive up to approximately $14,000 per year for suicide prevention activities such as training, purchase of materials, development of best practices, and evaluation.  Local activities will focus on programming that addresses prevention needs of the county as reflected in suicide trend data.

 

In addition, this bill has administrative impact that appears to increase (or decrease) duties or responsibilities of the Department of Health and may impact agency spending or staffing requirements. As introduced, the bill modifies the Department of Health's budget and current personnel authorizations.

The following state agencies will be asked to provide their estimate of the administrative fiscal impact prior to the first committee meeting held to consider the bill:
