The funding is intended to provide financial resources for organizations that help children who are victims of abuse, offering critical support services such as counseling, forensic interviews, and coordination with legal and medical professionals. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will go into effect immediately on July 1, 2025, allowing the funds to be quickly deployed to support these important child protection services. By allocating these funds, the bill aims to strengthen the state's capacity to protect and support vulnerable children who have experienced domestic violence or abuse.
