SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 229 appropriates two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) from the general fund to
Children, Youth and Families Department for expenditure in FY 08 for the juvenile justice
program.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of two hundred thousand ($200,000) contained in this bill is a recurring
expense to the general fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of
pg_0002

fiscal year 2008 shall revert to the general fund.
The appropriation is not part of Children Youth and Families Department's request and is not
included in the Executive recommendation of Children Youth and Families Department.
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES
The bill does not specifically state how the funds shall be used in the juvenile justice program.
PERFORMANCE IMPLICATIONS
None identified by CYFD.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
None identified by CYFD.
CONFLICT, DUPLICATION, COMPANIONSHIP, RELATIONSHIP
Relates to Appropriation in the General Appropriation Act.
TECHNICAL ISSUES
The bill does not specify how the funds are to be used in the juvenile justice program.
OTHER SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES
During a recent tour of juvenile justice detention facilities by the LFC, the juveniles and facility
staff were questioned about what could be done to improve programming. Most facility staff and
juveniles replied that additional sports equipment, extracurricular activities, library books, and
job training courses are needed. The athletic director at the Youth Diagnostic Detention Center
(YDDC) provided a wish list (attached) to LFC staff of sports equipment totaling $52,000 that is
desperately needed.
Funding for the Juvenile Justice program has historically been tight. Funding for sports
equipment, extracurricular activities, library books, etc is usually paid for at the end of the fiscal
year if there is any money left. For the last several years, there has been no “left over" funding.
Most facilities rely on donated items.
ALTERNATIVES
None identified.
WHAT WILL BE THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ENACTING THIS BILL
