presented to and approved by the General
Assembly. Should the department wish to
make a regulatory, policy, or procedural
change which increases or decreases the
budget by a sum greater than $500,000, it
shall inform the budget committees of the
change and the committees shall have 30
days to review and consider it before it
becomes effective. In reporting any
change, the department shall also include
an assessment of the impact on clients
and providers.
Further provided that the Mental Hygiene
Administration shall, prior to the
beginning of fiscal 2003, develop a system
for the delivery of mental health services
that allows the administration to offer

achieve this, the administration:
(1) shall may shall provide services to the
Medicaid-ineligible population through
a system of grants and contracts;
(2) may limit access to services by reducing
eligibility to services among the
Medicaid-ineligible population;
(3) may provide services to the
Medicaid-eligible population through
the current fee-for-service system,
grants and contracts, or a combination
of both;
(4) may utilize all of the Community
Services appropriation without regard
for the preservation of any existing
programming;
(5) may consider rate increases for specific
services;
(6) shall not enter into interagency
memoranda of agreement or any other
agreement accepting responsibility to
expand services to any clients or group
