Bill > SF2857

This bill appropriates funds to the State Guardian Ad Litem Board, a state entity that likely provides oversight and support for guardian ad litem professionals. Specifically, the bill allocates $6,999,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $9,366,000 in fiscal year 2027 from the general fund. Within this total appropriation, $229,000 in the first year and $247,000 in the second year are designated for hiring two new supervisory staff members. A guardian ad litem is a court-appointed representative who advocates for the best interests of children or vulnerable individuals in legal proceedings, typically in family court or child welfare cases. The appropriation appears intended to support and enhance the board's capacity to provide oversight and guidance to guardians ad litem across the state.
