Subcommittee flags data duplication at UNLV and funding gap for receiving centers law
Summary
Members reported data duplication problems at UNLV complicating counts of survivors and noted a statutory requirement for receiving centers that lacks earmarked funding; the speaker who mentioned the law said the year was recalled from memory and not certain.
The Chair told members that data previously used for the strategic plan had been housed at UNLV and that de-identification procedures led to duplicate survivor records, complicating accurate counts. "As individuals were intersecting with the different agencies providing services...we were counting kids multiple times," she said, noting this is a barrier to building a reliable data system.
Members also discussed statutory requirements for receiving centers: the Chair said a law was passed that requires development of receiving centers but that it was difficult to fund. She added she believed the law passed in 2023 but acknowledged she might be wrong, framing the date as uncertain. "It was the mandate without the earmarked funding," she said, emphasizing the implementation challenge.
