The bill proposes an appropriation of $150,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of public safety. This funding is designated for a grant to an organization that provides legal representation for children who are in need of protection or services, as well as those in out-of-home placements.

Additionally, the grant is contingent upon the organization securing a matching amount from nonstate funds, which can include in-kind contributions such as volunteer attorney time, cash, or a combination of both. This funding is intended to supplement existing appropriations for the legal representation of children, ensuring that vulnerable youth receive the necessary legal support.
