Human Services Committee advances public defender contracts and C4THFD57 grant agreement to Legislature
Summary
Public Defender Matthew Tantillo presented grant and statistics reports; the committee agreed with no objections to forward two resolutions to the full Legislature to authorize contract signatures, including one tied to the Fourth Family Defense competitive grant (C4THFD57).
Public Defender Matthew Tantillo reviewed his office’s grant-status and statistical reports and asked the committee whether two resolutions should proceed to the full Legislature.
The first resolution would authorize the chair of the Legislature to sign a contract for an investigator funded by existing grants. The second would authorize the chair to sign a contract with Child and Family Resources under the Fourth Family Defense (Child Welfare) Quality Improvement and Caseload Reduction Competitive Grant (C4THFD57). Committee Chair Edward Bronson asked members if the resolutions should advance. After discussion and edits, the minutes record that there were no official objections to forwarding both items to the Legislative Meeting.
Both items were recorded as accepted for placement on the legislative agenda; the committee did not record a roll-call vote at the meeting. The public-defender report and associated materials were accepted as information by the committee.
Next steps: the resolutions will be placed on the Legislative Meeting agenda for formal action by the full Legislature.
