Committee leadership described Senate Bill 26 as conforming the Davis Martinez Act to the House position; members moved amendments, adopted them, and then moved the bill as amended. The committee then recorded a roll-call approval during which members responded “aye” for the present roll-call names recorded in sequence.

Separately, members moved to concur on House Bill 1028 (recorded in the session as “House Bill 10 28”) and the motion carried on a subsequent roll call. The committee also debated House Bill 185 (referred to in the meeting as the therapeutic childcare grant bill). The chair summarized differences between the chambers: the Senate had restored a dollar amount of 3,700,000, while the House had set the amount at 1,500,000 to match the budget forecast; the Senate also removed language that would have specified how MSDE should allocate the grants. The committee ultimately moved not to concur on House Bill 185; members recorded affirmative votes for that motion.

Committee leadership announced that voting would continue the following morning at 8:45 a.m. and noted a conference-committee schedule for members at 4:00 p.m.

Votes recorded in the meeting came via roll call with individual members responding; the meeting transcript captures each roll-call response but does not supply a compact numeric tally in a single line beyond the recorded affirmative responses during those roll calls.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","APP Committee Session, 4/4/2025 #1","oneSentenceSummary","The Appropriations Committee recorded roll-call approvals for Senate Bill 26 and several House measures, moved concurrence on at least one item, and voted not to concur on a therapeutic childcare grant allocation the Senate had restored to a larger amount.","taxTitle","Appropriations Committee, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Committees, Legislative, Maryland","taxId",15058,"location","Maryland","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6612947,"Committee moves stipend proposal to study, approves related bills for treatment foster care homes",103,457000,560000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2879292-d1509465286d61760d9ccfc70658c588&start=457&end=560","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2879292-d1509465286d61760d9ccfc70658c588/thumbnail_457000.jpg","/articles/6612947/Maryland/Committee-moves-stipend-proposal-to-study-approves-related-bills-for-treatment-foster-care-homes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6612947-49ef575244a54674233af7506ad9d681/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178728&Signature=ZWS7oePzik55LgOGNQN0pA7P145te6KtU97Pk4-QBJ3xeh5AH0SNvELjOayjczBHaDWO-MozI4fEMASNoGH68z6tiwoLguN536461Icjk6Vfrz8~wjF7VV1FppoOtOEBHWvICOHelqGkfqmAhpo0YYANNKElLBEKLou1ErxxH0c0Zl0XXRQSjVsTeoDHmtGTcUs~~mCFfmgiY7B1YFxfRIrGMOkn~s-BcAfU9sLsHzB8QxD7zBVT~~HZbwTu-KJ1gFUe2Rq3W9-yjiHl14302gio-8yRFFXHNlTgnqjgA8thnV1jQOe6Lna5CUX4bFCbV0PebdH1aHE58-5K9qMMZQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a meeting of the Appropriations Committee, members approved House Bill 1057 as amended and Senate Bill 833, measures that replace a proposed childcare-stipend requirement for private treatment foster care homes with a study and direct the Department of Human Services to assess what forms of state support would be appropriate.

Delegate Shetty, who presented both items to the committee, said House Bill 1057 relates to “family law treatment foster care homes childcare stipends for private providers” and that there were two amendments, the first being technical. Shetty said the second amendment “replaces proposed requirements for stipends with a study to determine the types of state support appropriate to assist providers of treatment foster care homes.”

Shetty described Senate Bill 833 as a companion measure. “Senate bill 8 33, Department of Human Services study on private treatment foster care homes requires DHS to conduct a study to determine the types of state support in the form of funding or otherwise that would be appropriate beneficial to assist private providers of treatment foster care homes in the provision of services,” Shetty said.

Committee members voted to adopt the amendments to House Bill 1057, then moved the bill as amended and recorded a roll-call approval. Senate Bill 833, which the presenter said carried no amendments, also passed on roll call. The transcript records successive “aye” responses during roll call for present members; the committee did not provide a numeric tally in the meeting commentary beyond the recorded affirmative votes.

The two measures shift a policy outcome — from a statutory stipend requirement to a fact-finding study — that could guide future budget or regulatory decisions about how the state supports private providers who operate treatment foster care homes. The bills place a study obligation with the Department of Human Services rather than mandating immediate stipend payments.

Committee business continued after the votes; the group scheduled additional voting and conference-committee activity for subsequent sessions.","The Appropriations Committee approved an amended House bill that replaces proposed childcare stipend requirements for private treatment foster care providers with a state study, and also approved a separate bill directing DHS to study supports for those providers.","actionData","errors"]
