  1  9                           EXPLANATION
  1 10    This bill increases the financial aid required of the state
  1 11 for county juvenile detention homes.  Under current law in
  1 12 Code section 232.142, a county or multicounty juvenile

  1 14 of human services to be in compliance with the rules and
  1 15 standards adopted by the department of human services and
  1 16 inspection by the department of inspections and appeals.  If
  1 17 those two requirements are met, the detention home is eligible
  1 18 for financial aid from the state of 10 to 50 percent of the
  1 19 cost of the detention home.  The bill increases the minimum
  1 20 amount to 30 percent of the cost.
