Source of Revenue Decrease: Proposed legislation (14-2-506) prohibits Vital Records from charging to file acknowledgments of paternity.  There is currently a fee of $20 to file an acknowledgment, if the birth certificate is already on file. $15 of the fee goes to the General Fund and $5 goes to the Children’s Trust Fund. About 70 of these acknowledgments are filed each year.

Source of Expenditure Increase: These expenditures will be in the 600 Series object code, grants and aid payments:      Mandated review within child protection placement cases by the juvenile court and expanding opportunities to order continued services in these cases beyond the age of 18 years is projected to require an annual amount of $775,000.  This is projected based upon the number of children (child protection) in placement at 18 years of age and the amount of funds expended between their 17th and 18th birthdays. The number of children over 18 years of age projected to be in court ordered placement is 45.

 

Assumptions: Projected costs and number of children over 18 years of age is based upon DFS court ordered placement data for the period 11/01/2001 - 10/31/2002.  A three percent increase has been added to years 2005 and 2006.
