Location HCR 0112

SB25-197 - Referred to the Committee of the Whole

06:22:32 PM

The primary bill
sponsor, Representative Bacon, introduced Senate Bill 25-197 to the House
Health and Human Services Committee. The bill repeals individual programs
within the grant program and instead lists them as allowable uses for grant
money under the broader grant program. It consolidates their separate cash
funds into the Youth Services Program Fund. The bill maintains current
funding streams to support the grant program, which are from the Tobacco
Litigation Settlement Agreement and Marijuana Tax Cash Fund. The bill also
transfers certain responsibilities held by the grant program board to the
Department of Human Services (CDHS), including selecting grant recipients
and grant awards. It removes the local public-to-private funding match
requirements and requires certain grant recipients to submit information
on program outcomes annually to CDHS.
