Subject to appropriation. No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal. A new Section 660.026 would allow the Department of Social Services to contract with and provide funding support to all FQHCs in Missouri. Such funds would be used by FQHCs for health care to underserved populations, for capital expenditures when federal funds are not available, and for other services such as dental care and mental health services. This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
