(Placerville, CA) – The El Dorado County Health and Human Services Agency, Behavioral Health Division invites the public to provide input on the annual update to its Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Three-Year Program and Expenditure Plan. The Update covers fiscal years 2023/24 to 25/26.
California voters passed MHSA (Proposition 63) in November 2004, which places a 1% tax on personal incomes over $1,000,000.
