This bill died with 2024 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Senate” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

(b) “Equity allocation model” means an allocation model that uses the following factors:
1.
Proportion of the child population;
2.
Proportion of child abuse hotline workload;
and 3.
Proportion of children in care.
(c) “Proportion of child population” means the proportion of children up to 18 years of age during the previous calendar year in the geographic area served by the community-based care lead agency.

Activities performed for children and families which are nonjudicial and not candidates for Title IV-E funding, including true prevention and community-focused activities.
(b) Tier 2 is a per-child, per-month payment designed to provide funding for lead agencies’ expenses that vary based on the number of children served for a particular month.
The payment rate blends out-of-home rates and in-home rates specific to each lead agency to create a rate that provides a financial incentive to lead agencies to provide service in the least restrictive safe placement.
The department shall establish and annually update Tier 2 payment rates to maintain cost expectations that are aligned with the population served, services provided, and environment.
Tier 2 rates must be set annually.
(c) Tier 3 provides financial incentives that the department shall establish to reward lead agencies that achieve performance measures aligned with the department’s goals of prevention, family preservation, and permanency.
