                                  S. 1893
         Mental  Health Awareness   and  Improvement   Act  of 2015

    As reported by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
                              on October 1, 2015


SUMMARY

S. 1893 would reauthorize and make several changes to grant programs administered by
the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Agency (SAMHSA) related to
awareness, identification, and prevention of substance abuse and mental illness. The bill
would also promote the expansion of a reporting system on violent deaths.

CBO  estimates that implementing S. 1893 would cost $574 million over the 2016-2020
period, assuming appropriation of the specified and necessary amounts. Enacting S. 1893
would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not
apply to the bill.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 1893 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2026.

S. 1893 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).

legislation fall primarily within budget function 550 (health).
