SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 778 appropriates $180.5 thousand from the general fund to the human Services De-
partment for the purpose of providing culturally competent services for children and adults to
reconstruct families by resolving conflict and overcoming barriers.
Significant Issues
CYFD notes.
The bill does not define the meaning or intent of “reconstruct families,” and does not
specify the needs to be addressed or the types of service to be provided.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $180.5 thousand contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general
fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY06 shall revert to
the general fund.
