Senate Bill 418 increases the reimbursement formula for the Child Care Fund administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Counties receiving reimbursement must adopt validated assessment or screening tools to guide diversion, disposition, and detention decisions. The other three bills require specified assessment or screening tools to be conducted on a juvenile, and the results to be considered by the court, before disposition, consent calendar placement, or pretrial detention. The bills take effect October 1, 2024.
