What’s in it
AI summary Money from the juvenile detention home fund will now be used to pay for building and improving detention centers for young people. Each facility will receive an amount based on how much its buildings lost value the year before. Any leftover money will be shared among the homes based on how many days their beds were actually used.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to the juvenile detention home fund. The bill requires that moneys in the juvenile detention home fund be used, subject to certain limitations, for the payment of costs on an annual basis for improvements to and construction of county or multicounty juvenile detention home facilities in an amount equal to percent of the amount a home’s facilities depreciated in value during the previous fiscal year. The remainder of the moneys in the fund shall be allocated between such homes based on a home’s percentage of total bed days for all county or multicounty juvenile detention homes during the previous fiscal year. The bill defines “bed day” as the total number of beds occupied at a county or multicounty juvenile detention home for a minimum of hours per day.
