Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The purpose of this bill is to provide funding to pregnancy help organizations under certain conditions. This bill is to amend ยง16-66-2 to permit the distribution of funds to pregnancy help organizations for the following reasons: capital expenditures, expenditures associated with adding additional services, expenditures associated with meeting the requirements established by relevant licensing, accreditation, or standards setting organizations, and training expenditures for pregnancy help organization staff and volunteers. The fiscal impact on the Department would be dependent on the funding provided to support the program. Ongoing funding would be distributed based on the needs as specified in the bill relevant to the available funds.
