This bill transfers $15,000,000 from the state building trust fund to the general
fund and eliminates a $15,000,000 appropriation for a Building Commission grant
in the 2021-22 fiscal year that was not used by a health system for the purpose of
expanding psychiatric bed space. The bill increases the appropriation to the Joint
Committee on Finance for supplemental appropriations by $15,000,000 for fiscal
year 2023-24 for grants to support hospital emergency department services.
