Public Safety Funding Committee
The Legislature appropriated funding to specifically address public safety issues posed by adults with developmental disabilities. It is not a priority to use new or existing caseload funds to prevent a person who has been convicted of a crime from going to jail or to prevent charges from being filed. All funding for public safety needs that meet the criteria outlined in the State System of Care Plan shall first come from the public safety fund. If targeted public safety funding is insufficient for individuals who meet the criteria, the individual may have access to the New Caseload Fund or the Equity Fund, depending on the funding availability.
