"2. The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services shall provide an annual report on its plan to allocate funding in the Trust Fund to the Chairmen of the House Appropriations and Senate Finance Committees beginning on July 15, 2012. The report shall include detailed information on funding to enhance community services required under the settlement agreement, including information on the progress of achieving objectives set forth in the agreement."

Explanation:
(This amendment modifies language in the introduced budget specifying the uses of the Behavioral Health and Developmental Services Trust fund. Language which broadly directs the use of the Trust Fund is replaced with language directing the Fund to be used to address the requirements specified in the U.S. Department of Justice settlement agreement with the Commonwealth. Additional language requires the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to provide an annual report on its plan to allocate funding for these requirements and report on progress in achieving the objectives set out in the agreement.)
