Bill Summary
Under current law, funds from the Colorado child abuse prevention trust fund (trust fund) are for child abuse prevention programs and are distributed to organizations, including counties, through a competitive grant process rather than through direct distributions. The bill increases funding for county child welfare prevention services and programs by changing the source of reimbursement money transmitted to the trust fund from money received for all prevention services and programs identified in the federal Title IV-E clearinghouse (prevention services clearinghouse) to money received by the Colorado department of early childhood and identified in the prevention services clearinghouse. The trust fund and Colorado child abuse prevention board (board) are scheduled to repeal July 1, 2027. The bill continues the trust fund and board indefinitely.
AI Summary
This bill modifies how funds are directed to the Colorado child abuse prevention trust fund, which supports child abuse prevention programs. Currently, money from the trust fund is distributed through a competitive grant process. This bill changes the source of reimbursement money that goes into the trust fund, specifically from all prevention services identified in the federal Title IV-E clearinghouse to only those prevention services funded by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood and also identified in that federal clearinghouse. The Title IV-E clearinghouse is a federal list of approved prevention services. The bill also extends the existence of the Colorado child abuse prevention trust fund and the Colorado child abuse prevention board indefinitely, as they were originally scheduled to end on July 1, 2027.
