                                                                                  SUMMARY OF INTRODUCED BILL

                                                                                                         IN COMMITTEE

Senate Bill 800 (as introduced 1-31-18)

Sponsor:  Senator Peter MacGregor

Committee:  Oversight

Date Completed:  1-31-18

CONTENT

The bill would amend provisions of the Social Welfare Act concerning services to children and youths, to delete reference to funding prescribed in Section 117d of the Act (which enrolled Senate Bill 529 would repeal).

Senate Bill 800 is tie-barred to Senate Bill 529, which would amend provisions of the Act related to the Child Care Fund.

Under the Act, the Office of Children and Youth Services is responsible for the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of children and youth services conducted, administered, or purchased by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Services to children and youths must include, among other things, administering grants, subsidies, incentive programs, and other fiscal programs authorized by the Legislature. Those must include cost-sharing programs between State and county concerning children's services, including funding prescribed in Sections 117c to 117d.

Senate Bill 800 would delete reference to Section 117d, which requires the consideration of certain factors in the allocation of State appropriations to a county juvenile justice services program. As noted above, Senate Bill 529 would repeal that section.[1]
