Committee plans review of Attorney General budget as YouthWorks human‑trafficking amendment is drafted
Summary
The committee said it will review the Attorney General’s budget this afternoon and noted the AG’s office is drafting an amendment related to YouthWorks and human‑trafficking work; a separate HHS item (HHS1) will be moved back into the HHS budget.
Committee leadership announced it would take up the Attorney General’s budget later in the day and confirmed that the Attorney General’s office is drafting an amendment related to YouthWorks and human‑trafficking services.
Representative Swiatek (spelling in transcript varies) told the committee she had reconfirmed with the AG’s office that the YouthWorks human‑trafficking amendment was being drafted and expected it to be available for committee consideration. Staff also reported that an HHS line item (referred to as HHS1 in the transcript), previously included elsewhere, will be returned to the HHS budget; the item was described as $750,000 in new money and staff said it will be discussed in the HHS budget process instead of in the AG package.
Committee members indicated they would proceed with the rest of the agenda and incorporate the forthcoming AG amendment once it was available to the committee.
