IowaBill would give eligible juvenile detention homes a $150,000 first payment
Eligible Iowa juvenile detention homes would each receive $150,000 from the state fund before the remaining money is divided according to their previous year's costs.
What it does
Eligible county and multicounty juvenile detention homes would each receive $150,000 from the state fund. Any remaining money would be divided by each home's share of total costs.
Argument forThe equal $150,000 payment could help smaller eligible detention homes cover costs even when their share of total costs is low.
Argument againstGiving every eligible home the same first payment could leave less money to divide according to each home's costs.
More detail
Iowa's Department of Health and Human Services would pay each eligible juvenile detention home $150,000 before dividing the remaining money. The rules would cover eligible juvenile detention homes run by a county or multiple counties. The payments would come from money set aside for distribution from the juvenile detention home fund. The remaining money would be divided using each home's share of all eligible homes' costs in the immediately preceding fiscal year.
