Section 29:2EEEEEE - [Multiple versions] [Effective the later of (i) one full calendar month following the calendar month in which the secretary receives all federal approvals deemed necessary to implement said sections; or (ii) January 1, 2025] Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Project Fund(a) There shall be a Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Project Fund which shall be a separate, nonbudgeted special revenue fund to be administered by the secretary of health and human services. There shall be credited to the fund: (i) any transfers from the Health Safety Net Trust Fund established in section 66 of chapter 118E; (ii) an amount equal to any federal financial participation revenues claimed and received by the commonwealth for eligible expenditures made from the fund; (iii) any revenue from appropriations or other money authorized by the general court and specifically designated to be credited to the fund; and (iv) interest earned on any money in the fund. Amounts credited to the fund shall be expended without further appropriation. (b) The secretary shall annually make available amounts from the fund solely for the expenses of the Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Project operated by the department of mental health, in an amount equal to the amount described in the definition of "Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Project revenue amount" under section 64 of chapter 118E. (c) To accommodate timing discrepancies between the receipt of revenue and related expenditures, the comptroller may certify for payment amounts not to exceed the most recent revenue estimates as certified by the secretary to be transferred, credited or deposited under this section. The secretary shall, to the maximum extent possible, administer the fund to obtain federal financial participation for the expenditures of non-federal money from the fund. (d) If the amount in the fund exceeds the amount sufficient to make the payments described in subsection (b), at any point in time, as determined by the secretary, the secretary may transfer the commonwealth's share of such amount to the General Fund, the Health Safety Net Trust Fund established in said section 66 of said chapter 118E or the Managed Care Organization Services Reinvestment Fund established in section 2FFFFFF of chapter 29; provided, however, that no such transfer shall cause a deficit in this fund.Mass.
