Bill Overview

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Free 24/7 family help centers

Beginning September 1, 2025, DHHS runs a five-year pilot with two 24/7 centers in metropolitan-class cities. The centers serve youth at risk of or involved in the juvenile system and their families. All assessments and services are free. Help includes counseling, mental health and substance use care, tutoring and mentoring, conflict resolution, job and money skills, early childhood support, and help with food and clothing. Centers host community providers and navigators, keep youth and parent advisory groups, and belong to the National Assessment Center Association. Staff provide ongoing support like alumni mentoring and regular check-ins. The pilot ends September 1, 2030.

Standards, selection, and yearly reviews

DHHS uses a formal process to pick two centers. Applicants complete a self-assessment using national family-strengthening standards and apply. The department visits sites, interviews staff, and offers feedback and technical help to applicants that miss the mark. To be designated, centers must use trained, trauma-informed staff; partner with grassroots groups; and keep strong quality and data systems. Centers track outcomes and use feedback to improve. Each year, DHHS evaluates results on well-being, community trust, and juvenile justice involvement.

Pilot funding from Medicaid fund

Beginning September 1, 2025, each selected center can get up to $500,000 per year from the Medicaid Managed Care Excess Profit Fund. With two centers, that totals up to $1,000,000 a year. No more than 10% of pilot funds, and at most $50,000 a year, may cover administration. If this fund has no money, the state cannot use General Funds for the pilot. The law also lets this fund pay for the pilot.
