The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 23, seeks to allocate funding for the Department of Children and Families specifically for youth service bureau data reporting. It proposes an appropriation of three hundred ten thousand dollars from the General Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. This funding is intended to support the annual collection, analysis, and reporting of data related to youth service bureau programs.

The primary goal of this bill is to enhance the availability of data on youth service bureaus, which can inform policy decisions and improve services for youth. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the bill; the focus is solely on the new appropriation for data-related activities.
