Coalition discusses funding sources and legislative outreach; special license plate proposed as fundraising idea
Summary
Members debated funding approaches for statewide CSEC prevention—options mentioned included marriage-license fees, foundation grants, Metro event funds, and presenting a need to the legislature (BDR). The chair also suggested exploring a specialty license plate to raise funds.
Members discussed Objective 4c: identifying and securing statewide funding to support CSEC prevention. The chair framed the idea as developing public-private partnerships, applying for grants with DPBH, and creating a statewide funding pool to which prevention funding requests would be submitted through the coalition.
Participants suggested possible revenue sources including marriage-license fees, foundations, and police or event funds; one member recommended notifying the legislature ahead of the next session and pursuing a BDR (Bill Draft Request) to secure dedicated funding. The chair additionally proposed exploring a specialty license plate as a fundraising mechanism and said she would research feasibility before the next meeting.
No specific funding amounts or legislative sponsors were named in the transcript; staff and members agreed to continue research and bring concrete proposals to the next meeting for consideration.
