 House Bill 92 (HB 92) makes an appropriation of $859,000 to the Human Services Department to provide funding for residential treatment services. 

 An appropriation is made of $859,000 from the General Fund to the Human Services Department to provide for long-term residential treatment in Dona Ana County, specifically for people with serious mental illness and psychosis. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY 2024 will revert to the General Fund. 

 If the bill does not pass, the specified funding would not be made available, and current or alternate resources would need to be utilized to support the program.
