3. Removal of barriers and promotion of better access to proper nutrition and
spaces for play and other physical activities.

The bill prohibits DHS from awarding a grant unless the applicant
demonstrates that its program includes or will include participation of both a child
and the child's parent or guardian (unless the child is not born or the child is 18 years
of age or older), the applicant agrees to provide nonidentifying data on program
results and effectiveness, and the applicant contributes matching funds or in-kind
services with a value equal to at least 25 percent of the grant amount. The bill
requires DHS to prioritize applications in which all of the applicant's matching funds
or in-kind services are provided by nongovernmental entities and then, if sufficient
funds are available, applications with the most matching funds or in-kind services
provided by nongovernmental entities.
The bill allows DHS to renew a grant at the end of the two-year grant period.
If sufficient funds are available, the bill requires DHS to renew a grant at the same
amount previously awarded if all of the grant recipient's matching funds or in-kind
services are provided by nongovernmental entities and the recipient has shown to
DHS's satisfaction that the program is effective. The bill allows DHS to renew a
grant at a higher amount than previously awarded if the recipient has increased the
amount of matching funds or in-kind services provided by nongovernmental
entities.
Under the bill, DHS must submit an annual report on the childhood obesity
prevention and management program grants to the legislature.
The bill also provides an individual income tax subtraction and a corporate
income and franchise tax exemption for any amount of money or in-kind services
provided to a grant recipient that is used to satisfy the matching requirement under
the bill.
Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be
referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed
as an appendix to the bill.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
