Correctional system
Juvenile correctional system
Under current law relating to community youth and family aids (generally referred to as "youth aids"), DOC must allocate to counties various state and federal moneys to pay for state-provided juvenile correctional services and local delinquency-related and juvenile justice services. This bill sets the amounts of youth aids that DOC must allocate to counties in the 2011-13 fiscal biennium, based on a 10 percent reduction from the 2009-11 fiscal biennium. The bill also deletes federal economic stimulus funds as a funding source for youth aids.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
