Summary of Bill HR 1991

Bill 118 hr 1991, also known as the "Limitation on Availability of Funds for National Institute of Mental Health for Fiscal Year 2024 Act," aims to restrict the amount of funds available to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) within the Department of Health and Human Services for the fiscal year 2024. The bill seeks to impose a limitation on the funds that can be allocated to NIMH for research and programs related to mental health.

The purpose of this limitation is not explicitly stated in the bill, but it may be related to concerns about the allocation of federal funds or the prioritization of mental health research within the NIMH. By restricting the availability of funds, Congress may be seeking to ensure that resources are being used efficiently and effectively within the NIMH.

It is important to note that this bill does not eliminate funding for the NIMH entirely, but rather places a cap on the amount of funds that can be allocated for the fiscal year 2024. This limitation may impact the NIMH's ability to conduct research, provide grants, and support programs related to mental health. Overall, Bill 118 hr 1991 represents a targeted effort by Congress to control the allocation of funds within the NIMH for the upcoming fiscal year. The implications of this limitation on mental health research and programs remain to be seen as the bill progresses through the legislative process.
