SUMMARY



Synopsis of Bill



HB 50 appropriates $200.0 from the general fund to the Local Government Division of Department of Finance and Administration to provide service to at-risk children at the Dona Ana County educational camp and recreational park.



Significant Issues



The program would be developed as a pilot program for eventual statewide implementation



FISCAL IMPLICATIONS



HB 50 appropriates $ 200.0 from the general fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY 02 shall revert to the general fund.



OTHER SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES



The bill intends to provide services to "at risk" children at the Dona Ana county educational camp and recreational park. The bill does not define "at risk" nor does it identify specific services that

are to be provided, or by whom.





According to CYFD, the bill does pose the potential for conflict with other programs, but if fully implemented could enhance the service array.
