Section 5113 - Re-entry programs(a) There is hereby established a Fund for the Provision of Juvenile Re-Entry Services ("Juvenile Re-Entry Services Fund"). This fund shall be overseen and administered by the Department, and shall be used exclusively for the provision of re-entry services to minors who have been adjudicated delinquent or convicted of a crime and detained in a secure facility as a result of that adjudication.(b) As used in this section, "re-entry services" means services provided to a juvenile after his or her release from a secure facility that have the specific purpose of reducing the risk that the juvenile will commit a future criminal offense or act of delinquency. This includes continuing services for up to 1 year after release, even if the juvenile turns 18 during confinement or after release.(c) Funds appropriated to the Juvenile Re-Entry Services Fund shall be awarded by the Department to public or private third parties on a competitive basis for the provision of re-entry services. Up to 5 percent of appropriated funds may be retained by the Department for administration of funds and monitoring of services provided under this section.(d) Funds from the Juvenile Re-Entry Services Fund may not be awarded in a manner that supplants funding from any other public source.(e) The Department shall report to the Governor and General Assembly by December 1 of each year all expenditures made from the Juvenile Re-Entry Services Fund, the results of all monitoring of grants made from the Juvenile Re-Entry Services Fund, and its funding priorities for grants to be made in the following calendar year.Added by Laws 2021, ch. 261,s 1, eff. 11/8/2021.
