SUMMARY

 

      Synopsis of HJC Amendment

 

The House Judiciary Committee amendment transfers the appropriation for a domestic violence prevention program in San Miguel County from the Administrative Office of the District Attorneys to the Fourth Judicial District Attorney’s office.

 

Synopsis of Original Bill

 

House Bill 428 appropriates $150 thousand from the general fund to the administrative office of the district attorneys for the purpose of a domestic violence prevention program in San Miguel County.

 

Significant Issues

 

Currently AODA is responsible for fiscal administration, personnel administration, staff development, victim notification coordination, systems automation, liaison services and the forensic evaluation program administration for the fourteen district attorneys offices statewide.

 

AODA does not currently administer a domestic violence prevention program.  However the 4th Judicial District Attorneys office administers a model domestic violence program and would probably be more effective at administering the funds for this purpose.

 

 

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The appropriation of $150 thousand contained in this bill is a non-recurring expense to the general fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year shall revert to the general fund.
