SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

House Bill 334 appropriates $2 million from the general fund to CYFD to support, expand, and

improve domestic violence centers statewide.

Significant Issues

The bill does not specify the types of expenditures or activities allowable under the appropria-

tion.

PERFORMANCE IMPLICATIONS

Increased program and service capacity statewide would allow CYFD to serve a greater number

of domestic violence victims and offenders.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

The appropriation of $2 million contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general fund.

Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY06 shall revert to the gen-

eral fund.

This appropriation is not part of the CYFD request or the Executive recommendation.

ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS

CYFD will absorb the additional contract management demands arising with statewide program

expansion.
