FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Mental Health noted that there could be positive effects on their programs, but that would depend on how the service districts would choose to use their funds.
Advertisement costs for the proposal would be $3,990 per newspaper column inch for three publications of the text of the proposal, the introduction, title, fiscal note summary, and affidavit. The proposal would be on the ballot for the November 2000 general election.

DESCRIPTION
This proposal would allow a county governing body or the governing bodies of a combination of counties to establish districts to provide and promote community mental health services. The county (or counties) governing body(ies) would appoint a governing body to administer community mental health services. The mental health services governing body could impose a property tax of up to ten cents per one hundred dollars assessed valuation to support local mental health services. The tax could with voter approval be raised to as much as forty cents.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. The proposal would not affect Total State Revenues.
