Interim Joint Committee on Health Services Meeting
The committee discussed the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) program, highlighting its effectiveness in diverting individuals from hospitalization or incarceration and its cost-effectiveness. A strong emphasis was placed on the necessity for legislative action by 2027 to ensure the program's continuation, as it currently operates as a demonstration program.

Board
Interim Joint Committee on Local Government Meeting
The committee discussed a proposal regarding the collection of property taxes on mobile homes. The current system faces challenges with uncollectible debt because third-party tax buyers are unable to perfect liens on titled mobile homes. The proposal suggests integrating mobile home tax collection into the County Clerk's office using the CAvis system, which would link tax payment to vehicle registration renewal. The committee reviewed the differences between mobile homes and RVs, debated the impact on Sheriff and Clerk revenue, and explored alternative options, such as modifying only the delinquency process instead of the entire taxation system.
