SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 30 appropriates $3 million from the general fund to the Public Education Department
for the purpose of awarding grants to support and increase the number of schools with family and
youth resource programs.
Senate Bill 30 provides for a rolling three year average to be used to determine continuing
eligibility for approved family and youth resources programs if annual eligibility were to fall
below the 80 percent threshold for free and reduced lunch eligibility.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $3 million contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general fund.
Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of a fiscal year shall not revert
to the general fund.
This bill provides for continuing appropriations. The LFC has concerns with including
continuing appropriation language in the statutory provisions, as earmarking reduces the ability
of the legislature to establish spending priorities.
