BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE - John E. Olsen, Chairperson
RE: SUPPORT OF HB 4959 ELIMINATING THE SEPTEMBER, 1984 SUNSET
DATE ON 100% STATE FUNDING FOR COUNTY ADMINISTERED
SPECIALIZED RESIDENTIAL SERVICES
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Public Act 423 of 1980 amended the Mental Health Code
to allow community mental health boards to create special fund accounts to
receive patient fees and insurance reimbursement for services rendered; and
WHEREAS, these special fund accounts are considered part of the
10% county match required to receive state mental health funding; and
WHEREAS, Public Act 423 also provided for 100% state payment of
the costs of specialized residential services rather than 90% state funding
and 10% county match as was previously the case; and
WHEREAS, the 100% funding will expire on September 30, 1984
because of the sunset provision in Act 423 and, unless this act is amended
before that date, funding will return to the 90-10 arrangement; and
WHEREAS, House Bill 4959 provides such an amendment by eliminating
the sunset date, thus assuring the continuation of 100% state funding to
counties for residential services developed by community mental health boards.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners take a position supporting HB 4959.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to
all state legislators representing Oakland County and to the county's
legislative agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
