Committee introduces RS 32849 to align juvenile reentry services with federal spending law
Summary
The committee introduced RS 32849, presented by Jared Larsen, to comply with the Consolidated Appropriations Act and create management services for juveniles under 19 exiting juvenile correction facilities; services contingent on appropriation by the Joint Appropriations-Finance Committee.
The House Health & Welfare Committee heard and agreed to introduce RS 32849 on Feb. 3, 2026. Jared Larsen, chief of staff for the Department of Health and Welfare, presented the request stating it is intended "to comply with the Consolidated Appropriations Act for management services for juveniles under 19 years of age who are exiting juvenile correction facilities." Rep. Wheeler moved to introduce the request and the motion carried by voice vote.
Larsen told the committee the services described in RS 32849 would not begin until funding is appropriated by the Joint Appropriations-Finance Committee. The proposal therefore creates a framework that would require subsequent appropriation action before programs or services commence; the minutes note no appropriation vote or funding amount during the February 3 meeting.
