Significant Issues
Senate Bill 21 is for the Legislative Health and Human Services Committee. The appropriation is to the Children, Youth and Families Department.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The bill appropriates $1,500.0 from the general fund and is recurring.
The Legislative Finance Budget Recommendation includes $900.0 from the Tobacco settlement funds to enhance the domestic programs within the department.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
The Children, Youth and Families department would administer the RFP and monitor the contracts. This process is already within the department.
