What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Justice must provide $80,000 in grants

each fiscal year to the Court Appointed Special Advocate Association. This bill

increases the funding for these grants to $250,000 per fiscal year. Under current law,

the grant program sunsets on July 1, 2019. This bill eliminates the sunset date. This

bill also creates a new requirement for the Court Appointed Special Advocate

Association to submit an annual report describing the use of the funds to the

governor, the Joint Committee on Finance, and the appropriate standing committees

of the legislature.
