Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Free 24/7 family help centers for youth
Beginning September 1, 2025, the state runs a five-year pilot in metropolitan-class cities with two 24/7 family resource and juvenile assessment centers. Families with youth at risk or involved in juvenile justice get assessments and services at no cost. Centers host community providers and navigators; staff are trained in trauma-informed, culturally competent care. Services include tutoring, mentoring, counseling, mental health and substance use care, job-readiness, financial literacy, and short-term food and clothing help. Centers also partner with employers for apprenticeships and training, keep youth and parent advisory groups, do outreach with schools and local groups, track results, and offer follow-up and alumni support. Centers keep membership in the National Assessment Center Association. The pilot ends September 1, 2030.
Medicaid fund pays for pilot centers
Beginning September 1, 2025, the Medicaid Managed Care Excess Profit Fund can pay for the pilot centers, subject to existing fund limits. Each designated center can receive up to $500,000 per year; with two centers, total pilot grants can reach up to $1 million a year if the fund has money. No General Funds may be used if that fund lacks money. Administrative costs are capped at the lesser of 10% of pilot funds or $50,000 per year.
State sets rules and reviews centers
Starting September 1, 2025, the health department sets a formal process to designate centers. Applicants complete a self-assessment using national family-support quality standards, submit an application, and allow site visits and staff interviews. The department gives feedback and technical help to applicants who do not meet standards and may let them reapply. The department also conducts a yearly evaluation of the pilot’s impact on youth and families.
