Department of Health Services - Behavioral Health Services - HB2003 Children's Behavioral Health Services Monies

In 2000 the Legislature made a one-time, $20 million appropriation for children’s behavioral health services. Often referred to as “HB2003” monies, the funding provides behavioral health services to children served by the Departments of Health Services, Economic Security, Juvenile Corrections, or the Administrative Office of the Courts. The monies are primarily used for children not eligible for Medicaid or KidsCare. Programs that the HB2003 monies funded are consistent with legislative requirements and with court-ordered system reforms. Monies are also being used to provide state-wide training on system reform.
