Title
Vote on a request to approve $11,597 Maternal Health, Family Planning and Child Health - State Funds Reduction
Abstract
Action Requested: Vote on a request to approve $11,597 Maternal Health, Family Planning and Child Health - State Funds Reduction
Introduction & Background: In the recent approved state budget, the General Assembly included in the state plan for the Maternal and Child Health Block Grant a number of new initiatives as it has been done for several years. This year there are over $3.2 million in New and Additional carve outs with over $7 million in total.
Discussion & Analysis: Most Local Health Departments receive allocations for all three services. The reduction amount will be a percent of the total of the three allocations. That percent will be equal to the department’s share of the state amount allocated.
The reduction to the allocations will be from the federal portion only, state dollars will remain.
The reductions will come from the funding that is available October 1 - May 31.
Budgetary Impact: No Local Funding Requested
Recommendation: Vote on a request to approve $11,597 Maternal Health, Family Planning and Child Health - State Funds Reduction
