Abstract
In most states with a fiscal year that starts on July 1, an annual state budget gets approved long before summer turns to fall. But a troubling trend of protracted delays has emerged in Pennsylvania over the past decade, and the state's mental health provider community is feeling the impact of another delay this year — in the form of suspended payments and the possibility of having to curtail some services.
