LB48, sponsored by Omaha Sen. Terrell McKinney, creates the five-year Family Resource and Juvenile Assessment Center Pilot Program to provide culturally relevant services to family and youth involved in or at risk of entering the juvenile justice system.<\/p>\n

The bill requires the state Department of Health and Human Services to designate two centers within a metropolitan class city to provide 24\/7 support services, including youth counseling, parenting support, job training, conflict resolution and substance abuse treatment. Omaha is the state\u2019s only metropolitan class city.<\/p>\n

The department also must establish a designation process for the centers, who are required to implement a data collection system to assess program effectiveness, track youth and family outcomes and incorporate feedback directly from those served.<\/p>\n

The bill appropriates $500,000 annually for each center from the Medicaid Managed Care Excess Profit Fund. No more than $50,000 may be used for administration expenses.<\/p>\n

LB48 passed on a vote of 27-21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
