SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
House Bill 524
appropriates $267.0 from the general fund to CYFD for the purpose of establishing
a youth shelter for homeless, runaway and other children from San Miguel, Mora,
Harding, Colfax and Union counties.
Significant
Issues
There is no youth shelter in the northeast
quadrant of
According to DOH, youth shelter providers
believe that their services have been successful in keeping kids safe and off
the street, keeping them in the community and putting families back together.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of
$267.0 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.
CYFD asks if capital outlay costs are considered
in the appropriation contained in this bill.
TECHNICAL ISSUES
CYFD states that the term “other children” in
line 19 is too broad and could be interpreted as encompassing all children.
