  The bill includes
  General Fund appropriations to the Department of Health and Human Services of
  $1,000,000 beginning in fiscal year 2019-20 to stabilize the work force by
  bringing salaries of home visitors in line with comparable positions and to
  expand to foster families caring for infants eligibility for home visiting
  programs. 
     
    Note - The appropriations in this bill are in the Maternal and Child Health
  Block Grant - Z008 program, but the Purchased Social Services - 0228 program
  might be better suited for additional funding for the contracts involved. |
