20.9.204    ALLOCATION OF JUVENILE PLACEMENT FUNDS TO THE OFFICE OF COURT ADMINISTRATOR, JUVENILE PAROLE, JUDICIAL DISTRICTS, AND COST CONTAINMENT POOL

(1) For each fiscal year, out of the money appropriated by the Legislature for juvenile placement funds, the department will allocate money to the Office of Court Administrator, the cost containment pool, and the juvenile parole in the following manner and amounts:

(a) The department will allocate $25,000 to the Office of Court Administrator for evaluations of out-of-home placements, programs, and services.

(b) The department will allocate at least $1 million to the cost containment pool. The cost containment review panel will recommend to the department an amount to be allocated to the cost containment pool. After considering the recommendation of the cost containment review panel, the department shall determine if it will allocate more than $1 million to the cost containment pool. If the cost containment pool expenditures exceed $900,000 in the previous fiscal year, the department will allocate at least an amount equal to the amount over $900,000 of pool expenditures in addition to $1 million to the pool for the next fiscal year; the department may allocate additional funds.

(c) After funds have been allocated as indicated in (1)(a) and (b), the department will allocate 11 percent of appropriated juvenile placement funds to juvenile parole for out-of-home placements, programs, and services for youth on juvenile parole.

(2) After funds have been allocated as indicated in (1)(a) through (c), the department shall allocate the remaining funds to judicial districts for out-of-home placements, programs, and services for youth. The cost containment review panel will determine the formula the department must use to establish the amount of funds allocated to each judicial district.

(3) After the cost containment review panel has determined the allocation formula to be used to compute the amount of funds to be distributed to each judicial district, the department will use the formula to calculate the amount allocated to each judicial district.

(4) By no later than July 15 of each year, the department will notify each judicial district of the following:

(a) the total amount of funds appropriated by the Legislature for the juvenile placements, the amount of funds allocated to the Office of Court Administrator for evaluations, the amount allocated to juvenile parole, the amount allocated to the cost containment pool, and the amount remaining that will be allocated to the judicial districts;

(b) the allocation formula the cost containment review panel established; and

(c) the amount the department has calculated the judicial district will receive from the remaining appropriated funds using the formula established by the cost containment review panel.
