SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
HB 820 appropriates $280.0 from the general fund to CYFD to implement Phase 2 of a skills development pilot program for at-risk elementary school students in Bernalillo, Curry and Santa Fe Counties.
Significant Issues
HB 820 refers to the implementation of Phase 2 of a skills development program. CYFD has not been involved with Phase 1 of this program. HB 820 does not address how at-risk youth would be referred into this program. Also, the term "at risk" is not defined.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
HB 820 appropriates $280.0 from the general fund to CYFD for expenditures in FY02. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY02 shall revert to the general fund. This appropriation is not part of CYFD's request and is not included in the Executive recommendation.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
HB 820 will require coordination efforts between the State Department of Education and CYFD.
AMENDMENTS
Amend the bill to define "at risk".
POSSIBLE QUESTIONS
What agency determines which youths are "at risk", the State Department of Education or CYFD?
