Bill Summary

CONCERNING CHANGES TO THE TONY GRAMPSAS YOUTH SERVICES PROGRAM, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AND REDUCING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill reforms the Tony Grampsas Youth Services Program by consolidating and restructuring several existing youth-focused grant programs into a single, more comprehensive grant initiative. The bill creates a unified grant program that provides funding for community-based services targeting youth, including mentoring, dropout prevention, out-of-school time programs, and child abuse and neglect prevention. The legislation establishes new definitions for grant applicants, such as "intermediary entities" and "multi-entity" applicants, which allows for more collaborative and flexible grant submissions. The program will focus on evidence-based or evidence-informed strategies that help youth facing challenges like poverty, substance exposure, family conflict, and potential involvement with the justice system. Grant recipients must report annually on the services provided, including the number of individuals served, demographic information, and program outcomes. The bill also transfers existing youth-related program funds into a single youth services program fund and makes technical changes to related statutes. Importantly, the program aims to support youth between five and twenty-five years old by providing services that reduce youth crime, prevent substance use, improve academic performance, and strengthen family and community protective factors.
