Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, approved February 3, 2026, Pub. Law No. 119- 75, the

Fiscal Year 2026 Local funds budget authority in the amount of $4,200,000 from the Department
of Health Care Finance (DHCF) to the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS). The
funds are needed to support DYRS’ ab ility to place youth awaiting placement services in
residential facilities.

Group 714100C (Government Subsidies and Grants) , to DYRS’ Youth and Family P rograms,
Account Group 714100C (Government Subsidies and Grants). Funds are available in DHCF due
to less-than-expected expenditures for Medical Vendor Services accounts.
