Catch Title:

DFS contract for
residential services-juveniles.

Subject:

Amends authority for contracts
for residential services for juveniles

Summary/Major
Elements:

Under current law, the Department of Family Services (DFS) is limited in
its authority to contract for residential services for juveniles in the custody
of DFS because it may only contract with not-for-profit boards of directors for
those services.

This bill would remove the limitation and would allow DFS to contract
with for-profit entities to provide residential services for juveniles in DFS
custody.
