Mont. Admin. R. 20.9.204 - ALLOCATION OF JUVENILE PLACEMENT FUNDS TO THE OFFICE OF COURT ADMINISTRATOR, JUVENILE PAROLE, JUDICIAL DISTRICTS, AND COST CONTAINMENT POOL
(1) For each fiscal year, out of the money
appropriated by the Legislature for juvenile placement funds, the department
will allocate money to the Office of Court Administrator, the cost containment
pool, and the juvenile parole in the following manner and amounts:
(a) The department will allocate $25,000 to
the Office of Court Administrator for evaluations of out-of-home placements,
programs, and services.
(b) The
department will allocate at least $1 million to the cost containment pool. The
cost containment review panel will recommend to the department an amount to be
allocated to the cost containment pool. After considering the recommendation of
the cost containment review panel, the department shall determine if it will
allocate more than $1 million to the cost containment pool. If the cost
containment pool expenditures exceed $900,000 in the previous fiscal year, the
department will allocate at least an amount equal to the amount over $900,000
of pool expenditures in addition to $1 million to the pool for the next fiscal
year; the department may allocate additional funds.
(c) After funds have been allocated as
indicated in (1)(a) and (b), the department will allocate 11 percent of
appropriated juvenile placement funds to juvenile parole for out-of-home
placements, programs, and services for youth on juvenile parole.
(2) After funds have been
allocated as indicated in (1)(a) through (c), the department shall allocate the
remaining funds to judicial districts for out-of-home placements, programs, and
services for youth. The cost containment review panel will determine the
formula the department must use to establish the amount of funds allocated to
each judicial district.
(3) After
the cost containment review panel has determined the allocation formula to be
used to compute the amount of funds to be distributed to each judicial
district, the department will use the formula to calculate the amount allocated
to each judicial district.
(4) By
no later than July 15 of each year, the department will notify each judicial
district of the following:
(a) the total
amount of funds appropriated by the Legislature for the juvenile placements,
the amount of funds allocated to the Office of Court Administrator for
evaluations, the amount allocated to juvenile parole, the amount allocated to
the cost containment pool, and the amount remaining that will be allocated to
the judicial districts;
(b) the
allocation formula the cost containment review panel established; and
(c) the amount the department has calculated
the judicial district will receive from the remaining appropriated funds using
the formula established by the cost containment review panel.
