41	38		Dashes through the words or numbers indicate deletions from existing law. $1,980,137 from the general fund to the department of human services
42	39		(department) for youth who are detained and can be placed in
43	40		environments other than detention. Under current law, the department is
44	41		required to use $1,359,982 of its annual appropriation for temporary
45	42		emergency detention beds for juveniles. The bill repeals this requirement.
46	43		Under current law, only 215 juvenile detention beds are allowed
47	44		statewide. The bill:
48	45		! For the 2025-26 state fiscal year, increases this cap to 254
49	46		juvenile detention beds; and
50	47		! For the 2026-27 state fiscal year, and each state fiscal year
51	48		thereafter, sets the cap at 125% of the juvenile detention
52	49		average daily population projection (projection).
53	50		The cap excludes juveniles who are in detention for committing a
54	51		delinquent act that would constitute a class 1 felony if it were committed
55	52		by an adult. The bill requires the division of criminal justice in the
56	53		department of public safety to include the projection in an existing report.
57	54		The bill requires the general assembly to annually appropriate
58	55		$1,359,982, plus any additional amount necessary to fully fund the
59	56		projection, to the department for juvenile detention beds.
