This fiscal note
reflects the incremental impact of the amendment. The amendment adds an initial appropriation
of $50,000 in fiscal year 2014-15 with an ongoing cost of $200,000 for the
State-funded Foster Care/Adoption Assistance program in the Department of
Health and Human Services for a transitional grant program for individuals
exiting the State's foster care system at age 21 years old and actively
pursuing post-secondary education. This assumes an annual grant cost of
$5,000 per child and initially 20 grants awarded in the first year with an
effective start date on January 1, 2015. The amendment also adds a one-time
deappropriation of $50,000 in fiscal year 2014-15 in the State-funded Foster
Care/Adoption Assistance program resulting from program savings. The
amendment further assumes the department will be able to secure a
post-secondary education navigator at little or no cost to the
department. |
