This bill appropriates additional funds to the Department of Health and Welfare for the Division of Youth Safety and Permanency for fiscal years 2025 and 2026. Specifically, it allocates $9,518,500 for the Division of Youth Safety and Permanency and $11,727,200 for the Foster and Assistance Payments program, with new federal funding amounts of 3,353,800 and 4,117,300 respectively. The bill also increases the full-time equivalent position authorization for the Division by sixty-three positions for the same period. Additionally, it provides exemptions for transfer limitations on personnel costs and trustee and benefit payments for both fiscal years. The bill sets conditions for the Department of Health and Welfare to achieve a one-to-one ratio of foster families to foster children by January 1, 2026, with specific funding and positions tied to this goal. If the target is not met, the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee will review the funding and positions before setting the fiscal year 2027 budget. Furthermore, it establishes restrictions on the use of federal funds, ensuring that state funds are not used to replace lost federal support without legislative approval. The bill declares an emergency, making certain sections effective immediately upon passage, while others will take effect on July 1, 2025.
