Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Assembly Bill 388 updates the grant program for constructing an integrated mental health facility by changing the funding structure from a one-time grant for the fiscal year 2025-26 to a biennial grant covering the fiscal years 2025-27. It also clarifies the requirements for Rogers Behavioral Health, specifically that they must apply for certain health service certifications to provide inpatient care. These changes are important because they extend the funding period and ensure that the facility will meet necessary standards for mental health services, potentially improving care for individuals in the Chippewa Valley region.
