Memorandum


The reason this bill would not have a fiscal impact is because the funds associated with this bill will come from funds received by our Agency from the committed children in our custody. The Trustee fund will hold the personal funds of the children. The Commissary/Benefit fund will be self-sustaining. The revenue from the sales of products to the children are used to replenish the stock and the profit constitutes the portion of the funds used for the special programs outlined in the legislation. The Division of Juvenile Services inherited these two types of funds already in operation when we were created in 1997. This legislation is needed to codify that procedure for the Division.
