SUMMARY

 

     Synopsis of Bill

 

House Bill 812 appropriates $42.0 from the General to the Office of Indian Affairs for youth development programs including the youth leadership project at the Tohatchi Chapter in Tohatchi.

 

     Significant Issues

 

The Office of Indian Affairs reports the funds would be used for programs that support children and assist them with developing strong leadership skills.  Early intervention, mentoring and self-esteem-building are some of the components.  The program goals are to develop a strong, educated, skilled, happy, confident, and culturally-competent new generation.

 

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The appropriation of $42,000 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the General Fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of Fiscal Year 2004 shall revert to the General Fund.
