Bill to aid mental health

Mental illness can be devastating for any family.health club And the facilities to treat the mentally ill in Adams County only compound the problem.

Those in immediate need of mental help face two scenarios.

They may go to a state-run facility, if a bed is available, or they face being housed in the county jail.

But hopefully a new bill, authored by state Sen. Bob Dearing, will change this problem.

“To house them in the county jail is unacceptable,” Dearing said.

Bill 37 would provide $10 million for Natchez Regional Hospital to add a psychiatric ward.

Dearing said he regularly receives calls from the family members of the mentally ill practically begging for his help.

“These people do not want their loved ones to end up in jail,” he said. “They need to be in a hospital.”

The deadline for the bill to be voted on is approximately three weeks away.

Dearing said if the bill gets out of committee, health club it will then go to the senate, house and then needs to be signed by the governor.

And while that may sound like a lengthy process, Dearing said, if passed, the bill — to be funded by bonds — would become effective on July 1.

Dearing said he has confidence in the bill’s success.

But Natchez resident Opal Vines is not waiting until July to find out what will happen to the bill. Vines was recently appointed to the Southwest Mental Health Board of Commissioners.

Just after her appointment was made official Vines traveled to Jackson to meet with speaker of the house Billy McCoy to discuss bill 37.

Vines said the meeting went very well.

“He was very receptive to our needs,” she said.

And the needs of the county are very apparent.

There is no system of aid in Adams County.

But the lack of available help in Adams County is not unique.

Supervisor Darryl Grennell said at a recent conference of the National Association of Counties — a group of which he is a member health club — the issue of lack of mental health assistance was broadly discussed.

Grennell said several people at the conference also expressed strong disapproval of the storage of mentally ill individuals in their county jails.

Health Clubs Deleted from Senate Version of Maryland Tax Bill

In a very positive development on Tuesday afternoon, the Maryland Senate Budget & Taxation Committee voted to delete health clubs from the list of services to which a sales tax would be expanded. Senate Bill 2 will go to the floor of the Senate for vote on Thursday without a tax on health club dues.

Members of the Senate Budget & Taxation heard the voice of a unified industry and the consumers we serve, and chose not to tax health club lifestyles. IHRSA is asking clubs to keep the pressure on to ensure that other Maryland legislators do the same. The proposed sales tax expansion may move to the House Ways & Means Committee as early as this weekend.

Thanks to the hard work of an IHRSA-supported coalition of fitness professionals, lobbyists and consumers, health club dues were not included in the tax package. IHRSA continues to actively lobby the Michigan legislature for the repeal.
