The bill establishes grant funding for community-based organizations in Nebraska to prevent juvenile crime and amends existing provisions related to the Community-based Juvenile Services Aid Program.

  • 43-2404.02

    (e) Ten percent of the annual General Fund appropriation to the Community-based Juvenile Services Aid Program, excluding administrative budget funds, shall be set aside for grants to community-based organizations that are located in qualified census tracts as defined in 26 U.S.C. 42(d)(5)(B)(ii)(I), as such section existed on January 1, 2025, that have a budget of no more than one million dollars annually, and that are designed to prevent juvenile crime prior to involvement with the criminal justice system. → (e) The remaining funds in the annual General Fund appropriation to the Community-based Juvenile Services Aid Program shall be apportioned as aid in accordance with a formula established in rules and regulations adopted and promulgated by the commission. The formula shall be based on the total number of residents per county and federally recognized or state-recognized Indian tribe who are twelve years of age through eighteen years of age and who come into contact with the juvenile justice system other relevant factors as determined by the commission. The commission may require a local match of up to five forty percent from the county, multiple counties, federally recognized or state-recognized Indian tribe or tribes, or any combination of the three which is receiving aid under such program. Any local expenditures for community-based programs for juveniles may be applied toward such match requirement.

    This change reallocates the existing funding formula and sets aside funds specifically for grants to community-based organizations, enhancing support for juvenile crime prevention efforts.
