FISCAL IMPACT: This Contract is funded 100% by State CaIWORKs through the Employment and Human Services Department. BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S): In. August 1997, the State of California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1542 which brought major changes to the welfare programs previously operated by the State. Among the changes was a provision that required treatment of substance abuse and mental illnesses of Welfare-to-Work participants, when these conditions interfere with participation in Welfare-to-Work activities. Subsequently, the County's Employment and Human Services Department and Health Services Department signed an Interdepartmental Services Agreement (#21-427), which allowed the Health Services Department to provide substance abuse and mental health services to Welfare-to- Work participants referred by th'e Employment and Human Services Department.
