Explanation
(This amendment restores an earmark from the federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) block grant for the Partners in Prevention Program, a program established to encourage and support community-directed strategies to prevent and reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock births. Funds earmarked for this program were reduced by ten percent each year as part of a strategy to balance revenues and expenditures from the TANF block grant.)
