Board signs pass-through agreements to continue juvenile corrections and CBAS/SUD funding
Summary
Juvenile Justice staff said cigarette-and-tobacco-tax Juvenile Corrections Act funds will supplement personnel and a separate pass-through will fund community-based alternative services and substance-use-disorder treatment for youth; commissioners authorized both agreements.
Todd Moger of Juvenile Justice asked Manning County commissioners on July 2 to sign two pass-through funding recipient agreements.
Moger said a pass-through of Juvenile Corrections Act (JCA) allocations funded by the cigarette and tobacco tax will supplement two personnel budgets and that the amounts are roughly the same as last year, though he did not provide a specific dollar figure in the public record. He then described a second pass-through agreement for community-based alternative services (CBAS) and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment: those funds pay for counseling and inpatient and outpatient care for youth who are not covered by Medicaid or other insurance.
A commissioner moved to approve signature on the JCA/tobacco tax agreement and then made a separate motion to authorize the Seabass and Suds (CBAS/SUD) pass-through funds; both motions were approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Moger emphasized the CBAS funds help fill gaps where Medicaid does not pay for certain counseling or SUD treatment for youth. The transcript does not provide the precise funding amounts or program-level budgets; staff indicated the JCA funding is comparable to last year.
