MODERATE

The bill was converted from a Senate version to a House floor version, resulting in significant changes to the agencies and entities subject to staffing contract restrictions.

MODERATE

The bill was updated from its original introduction to its final engrossed version, incorporating amendments from both the Senate and House. The primary substantive change is the expansion of the bill's scope to cover all entities operating juvenile detention facilities, rather than just those operated by the state Office of Juvenile Affairs. Additionally, the definition of 'contracting organization' was broadened to include agreements signed with counties, not just the state office.

Scope change

The bill's applicability was expanded from only state-operated juvenile facilities to include any entity operating a juvenile detention facility, including county-operated facilities.

SCOPE

The prohibition on using temporary staffing agencies was expanded to apply to any entity operating a juvenile detention facility, whereas the original text only prohibited the state Office of Juvenile Affairs from doing so.

DEFINITION

The definition of 'contracting organization' was updated to include written agreements signed between counties and organizations, in addition to agreements with the state Office of Juvenile Affairs.

REQUIREMENT

A new Section 3 was added to prohibit adult companion homes from using temporary staffing agencies to provide workers to the Department of Human Services.

The restriction on staffing adult companion homes was clarified to prohibit the use of agencies providing 'full-time team members' to the Department, whereas the original text prohibited 'full- or part-time team members'.
