California AB118: Human services funding and program adjustments.

California AB118 amends the Welfare and Institutions Code to adjust funding for the Juvenile Justice Realignment Block Grant and Adoption Assistance Program. It mandates that any cost increase due to the 2011 Realignment Legislation will only apply to local agencies if the state provides annual funding. The bill also specifies conditions for Adoption Assistance Program payments for children placed in out-of-state residential treatment facilities. Additionally, it requires counties to convene child and family team meetings for children and youth receiving family maintenance services.
