Interim study to examine funding sources, fee structures, service types, oversight structures, reimbursement structures, and appropriations for cross-system services between child welfare and juvenile justice

This legislative resolution directs the Nebraska Appropriations Committee to conduct an interim study on how funding is managed for services that connect child welfare and juvenile justice systems. The study will examine budget allocations, cost-sharing arrangements, reimbursement rates, and coordination between state agencies, counties, and service providers. It aims to review current financial structures and identify best practices from other states to improve fiscal oversight and accountability for youth involved in both systems. The committee will gather input from various stakeholders including agencies, providers, and affected families before submitting findings and recommendations to the Legislature.
