ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Mental Health and the Department of Health assume this proposal would not fiscally impact their agencies.
Department of Social Services (DOS) officials assumed that there would not be a fiscal impact to the Division of Medical Services (DMS). However, if funds are appropriated, DMS could contract and provide funding to federally qualified health centers with existing staff and resources.
Oversight assumes a range of $0 to ($5,000,000) from the Healthy Families Trust Fund - Health Care Treatment and Access Account. This amount reflects the amount of new funding requested from tobacco settlement funds in the FY2002 Governor's budget request.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

DESCRIPTION
This proposal would authorize state support of federally qualified health centers (FQHC). A new Section 660.026 would allow the Department of Social Services to contract with and provide funding support to all FQHCs in Missouri. Such funds would be used by FQHCs for health care to underserved populations, for capital expenditures when federal funds are not available, and for other services such as dental care and mental health services.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
