SB 25-237

Senate Bill 25-237 has been signed into law and it ends a program that provided vouchers for behavioral health services in rural and agricultural areas of Colorado. The bill also cuts $50,000 from the budget allocated to the Behavioral Health Administration. This change will affect residents in these communities who relied on the voucher program to access mental health and substance abuse treatment. Since the bill has been signed, the program is no longer available, and funding for behavioral health services has been reduced.
