Bill Summary
Establishes a program for services for certain youth in the custody of the Department of Social Services
AI Summary
This bill establishes a new program within the Missouri Department of Social Services designed to provide comprehensive services for youth with severe behavioral challenges or developmental disabilities. To be eligible, youth must be in the custody of the Children's Division, under 21 years old, and have needs that cannot be met by existing state programs. The department is authorized to enter into contracts with qualified service providers, which must be licensed, based in Missouri, not-for-profit, and have a proven track record of success. The bill also permits the department to collaborate with state-owned facilities like those operated by the Division of Youth Services or the Department of Mental Health to house and serve these youth. Additionally, the bill allows youth under voluntary placement agreements to access the program if resources are available. The department is granted the authority to create necessary rules and regulations to implement the program, subject to standard legislative oversight procedures. The overall goal is to create a specialized service delivery system that can support youth with complex needs who are currently underserved by existing state programs.
