SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
This bill appropriates $1,000.0 from the general fund in fiscal year 2002 and subsequent fiscal years to the Regional Juvenile Service Grant Fund (RJSGF) to provide nonsecure alternatives for juveniles.
Significant Issues
The RJSGF was established in Section 33-12-1, NMSA 1978. The fund has not received any additional appropriations since fiscal year 1995. The purpose of the fund is to assist units of local and tribal governments with provision of temporary, nonsecure alternatives to detention for juveniles who have been referred to the juvenile probation and parole office, and to plan, assess, design and develop secure detention and nonsecure alternatives that serve multiple contiguous counties, municipalities, Indian tribes and pueblos. The fund is administered by CYFD.
PERFORMANCE IMPLICATIONS
The number of juveniles receiving formal and informal probation services are output measures in the fiscal year 2002 CYFD budget request.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $1,000.0 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general fund as the appropriation is for fiscal year 2002 and subsequent fiscal years. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of a fiscal year shall revert to the general fund.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
CYFD will develop and monitor contracts that provide the services.
