Securing Facilities for Mental Health Services Act

This bill would change Section 242 of the National Housing Act, which runs a federal program that insures mortgages for hospitals. It would remove one of the listed requirements, subparagraph (B), in the law's definition of which hospitals can use the program, so that licensed hospitals have equal access to it. The change would take effect 9 months after the bill becomes law. Within 2 years after the bill becomes law, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development would have to report to Congress on the results and effectiveness of the program's expansion.
