AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR THE YOUTH SERVICE BUREAUS ENHANCEMENT GRANT PROGRAM.

SB 22 appropriates $300,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Children and Families for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. This funding supports the Youth Service Bureaus Enhancement Grant Program, established under section 10-19q of the general statutes. The bill directly provides resources to local youth service bureaus to enhance their programs. It is a straightforward funding allocation with no new policy requirements or eligibility changes. The bill does not specify how funds will be distributed or measured outcomes.
