AI Summary
This joint resolution appropriates $118,422 in general revenue funds to the Rhode Island Parent Information Network (RIPIN) for the fiscal year 2025-2026 to support the continued operation of its Dual Ombudsman program. An ombudsman is typically an official who investigates complaints and helps resolve disputes between citizens and government or other organizations. The resolution specifies that the state expects these funds to be matched by federal Medicaid funds, and it authorizes the state controller to draw orders upon the general treasurer for payment once proper vouchers are received. This funding appears to be aimed at supporting RIPIN's advocacy and support services, likely related to healthcare or social services for families, with the expectation of leveraging additional federal funding to maximize the program's impact.
