Explanation
(This amendment provides additional funding in the second year for state ward per diem payments to localities holding juveniles that have been sentenced to state facilities but not yet transferred to the state. This amendment would require that the Department reimburse localities from the date of sentencing rather than from the date the commitment order is received.)
