This bill appropriates funds for personal services for Victim Assistance Coordinators for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. It establishes a maximum number of employees and their respective salary grades, including positions for Senior Victim Assistance Coordinators and Victim Assistance Coordinators at various levels. The total amount appropriated for regular salaries and personal services matching is $5,333,874. Additionally, the bill outlines that effective October 1, 2025, all victim assistance coordinators employed by prosecuting attorneys will transition to state employment, with their positions and salaries determined based on existing county and grant-funded roles as of January 1, 2025.

The bill also emphasizes the legislative intent to ensure adequate victim services across the state, recognizing the need for a transition to a state-funded system without adversely affecting districts that are currently functioning well. It mandates that counties continue to bear the costs of facilities and supplies for victim assistance coordinators. The provisions of the bill, including the transition to state employment and the responsibilities of the Prosecution Coordination Commission, are set to be in effect from October 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.
