SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Comprehensive Services for At-Risk Youth and Families. Requires the State Executive Council (SEC) to provide for public participation and comment in developing a dispute resolution procedure and to consult with local governments about state policies governing the use, distribution and monitoring of moneys in the state pool of funds and the state trust fund. The bill clarifies the SEC's role in establishing and overseeing the dispute resolution procedure and requires formal notice, which means the SEC must provide a letter of notification that communicates its formal finding, explains the effect of the finding, and describes the appeal process, to the chief administrative officer of the local government with a copy to the chair of the Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT). The dispute resolution procedure shall also include provisions for remediation by the CPMT, which shall include a submission by the CPMT of a plan of correction to the Council. The bill clarifies that at no time either prior to or during the course of the implementation of the plan of correction shall the SEC deny reimbursement for services rendered and that the denial of state funding shall only be for failure to provide services. Finally, the bill requires the Director of the Office of Comprehensive Services for At-Risk Youth and Families to implement, in collaboration with participating state agencies, policies, guidelines and procedures adopted by the SEC and to consult regularly with local government representatives about implementation and operation of the Comprehensive Services Act.
