A bill for an act relating to allocations of moneys from the juvenile detention home fund.
HF 2315 changes how Iowa allocates funds from the juvenile detention home fund to county and multicounty juvenile detention homes. The bill requires each eligible home to receive a flat $150,000 in the first distribution, replacing the current system that distributed funds based solely on each home's share of total costs. Any remaining funds after this initial $150,000 allocation are then distributed proportionally based on each home's share of the total costs for all homes in the prior fiscal year. This provides a baseline funding amount for all homes while still adjusting for cost differences with leftover funds.
