AN ACT relating to juvenile justice, making an appropriation therefor, and declaring an emergency.

This bill would create a dedicated fund within the Department of Juvenile Justice to direct money toward juvenile services in Kentucky. It includes an appropriation, meaning state funds would be set aside specifically for this purpose. The emergency declaration means it would take effect immediately upon becoming law. Who it may affect: young people involved in the juvenile justice system and the state agencies and staff who provide those services.
