Chapter No. 2, FSSLA 2019 [Effective Date: July 1, 2019] My administration worked to identify what items were a priority based on the principles I have established during my time in office. This budget was thoroughly evaluated, and my policies were applied consistently across the board. We must evaluate all programs based on how effective they are in achieving the desired outcome. Going forward, it will be necessary for the Mental Health Trust to assess program needs and utilize the Trust's earnings to fund any increases in financial support. With this in mind, reductions were made to the Mental Health Capital and Operating budget. These vetoes are in line with the guiding principles I outlined on day one of my administration. Reports are attached detailing vetoes to the mental health operating budget, in addition $11.7 million in unrestricted general funds (UGF) were vetoed from the mental health capital budget for projects that are not core functions of the state. We must work together to prioritize State funded programs, and programs funded at the local level. Sincerely, /s/ Michael J. Dunleavy Governor" HB 104 A message dated June 28 was received stating the Governor signed the following bill and is transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor's office for permanent filing:
