Fiscal Note

HB0266 - Revisions to Child Welfare

State Impact:
The Division of Child and Family Services will see a decrease in caseload with budget savings estimated at $269,100 the first year ($168,700 G.F.). These savings would increase in FY 2006. The Attorney General's Office is expecting increased attorney costs for more serious cases, with increased costs estimated at $746,000 ($611,700 G.F.) the first year. There may be significant increases in costs to the Court system, but these cannot be quantified at this time. The federal fund revenue would be generated as state funds are expended.
