Grants to mental health clubhouses and making an appropriation. (FE)

What it would have done

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires the Department of Health Services to award grants to clubhouses. A “clubhouse,” as defined in the bill, is a nonresidential rehabilitation program that provides support and services to individuals who have a mental illness but does not directly provide treatment or medical care for mental illnesses. To receive a grant a clubhouse must only include members who have been diagnosed with a mental illness and are under treatment for the mental illness, raise an amount of money itself to receive a matching grant, provide activities and services to members on a voluntary basis, be accredited, have its own distinct physical space, and allow members to have the opportunity to participate in the administration and other operational functions of the clubhouse. The bill increases the supplemental appropriation to the Joint Committee on Finance for the purposes of providing grants to clubhouses and specifies that the committee may make a supplement using its passive review process.
