This amendment
requires that the fees for and costs related to processing and administering
the criminal background checks required for a child care staff member must be
paid by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) from the funds
available under the federal Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG)
and further requires a transfer of payment by the DHHS to the Department of
Public Safety (DPS) from the federal CCDBG must be made pursuant to a
schedule agreed upon by the DHHS and the DPS in consultation with the State
Controller and based on documentation of fees and costs. It is estimated that
the DHHS will transfer a total of 68,492 to the DPS accounts to offset the
costs incurred by the bill.
Additionally, the amendment includes Other Special Revenue Funds
allocations of $56,294 in fiscal year 2018-19 to the DHHS to fund the one
Office Associate II Supervisor position to handle additional work from the
increase in background checks, utilizing CCDBG funds instead of General Fund
dollars. The amendment also includes Federal Block Grant Fund allocations of
$124,786 in fiscal year 2018-19 to fund both positions created within DPS and
DHHS with CCDBG funds. |
