Changes on horizon for Boulder IBC

Legislation currently sitting on Governor Greg Gianforte’s desk could mean changes to Boulder’s Intensive Behavior Center. 

House Bill 872 – sponsored by House District 10 Representative Bob Keenan (R-Bigfork) was approved during the 68th Montana Legislature, allocating $300 million to create a behavioral health system for future generations.

HB 872 also creates a Behavioral Health System for Future Generations Commission comprised of both governor’s appointees and legislators. Deciding the future of the IBC and many other components of Montana’s behavioral health system will be part of the commission’s work going forward, according to Department of Public Health and Human Services Communications Director Jon Ebelt.
