This bill would create a dedicated fund within the Department of Juvenile Justice to support juvenile services in Kentucky and directs a specific appropriation of public money into that fund. The emergency designation means it would take effect immediately upon becoming law rather than waiting for the standard 90-day period. It is currently under consideration in the Kentucky Senate. Who it may affect: young people involved in the juvenile justice system and the state agencies and staff who serve them.
