1 33 EXPLANATION
1 34 This bill relates to state funding for the costs of
1 35 juvenile detention homes by providing a supplemental
2 1 appropriation to the juvenile detention home fund. Under
2 2 current law, the fund receives the proceeds of civil penalties
2 3 assessed under Code chapters 321 and 321A when the department
2 4 of transportation suspends, revokes, or bars a person's
2 5 driver's license or nonresident operating privilege. Code
2 6 section 232.142 provides that the moneys deposited in the fund
2 7 are subject to annual appropriation by the general assembly.
2 8 For fiscal year 2007=2008, the appropriation from the
2 9 juvenile detention home fund was made in 2007 Iowa Acts,
2 10 chapter 218, section 20, and was distributed for providing at
2 11 least 10 percent of the costs of county or multicounty
2 12 juvenile detention homes in the previous fiscal year and then
2 13 for a series of other child welfare purposes with any
2 14 remainder to be used for the juvenile detention homes.
2 15 The bill provides a fiscal year 2007=2008 supplemental
2 16 appropriation of $2.6 million from the general fund of the
2 17 state to the juvenile detention home fund and amends the
2 18 distribution provision for the juvenile detention homes by
2 19 increasing the 10 percent figure to 24.5 percent. Any
2 20 remainder after making other distributions is required to be
2 21 left in the juvenile detention home fund for appropriation and
2 22 distribution in the succeeding fiscal year.
2 23 The bill takes effect upon enactment.
