(1) (a) For the 2019-20 through 2021-22 fiscal years, the general assembly shall appropriate money each fiscal year from the marijuana tax cash fund created in section 39-28.8-501 (1) to the department for allocation to the office of behavioral health to implement the pilot program. The office of behavioral health may use a portion of the money annually appropriated for the pilot program to pay the direct and indirect costs incurred to administer the pilot program.
(b) If any unexpended or uncommitted money appropriated for the 2019-20 or 2020-21 fiscal year remains at the end of either fiscal year, the office of behavioral health may expend the money in accordance with this section in the succeeding fiscal year without further appropriation. Any unexpended or uncommitted money remaining at the end of the 2021-22 fiscal year reverts to the marijuana tax cash fund created in section 39-28.8-501 (1).
(2) The department may solicit, accept, and expend any gifts, grants, or donations from private or public sources to implement or administer the pilot program.
