§ 432B.2185. Block grant awarded to agency which provides child welfare services in county whose population is 100,000 or more; amount and use of block grant

1. The Division of Child and Family Services shall award a block grant to each agency

which provides child welfare services in a county whose population is 100,000 or more

for each fiscal year to the extent that money has been appropriated to the Division

for that purpose. The amount of the appropriation to the Division of Child and Family Services must

be based on the amount appropriated for the previous biennium. The amount of the block grant must be determined for 2 years beginning on July 1

of each odd-numbered year and allocated each fiscal year. 2. An agency which provides child welfare services that receives a block grant pursuant

to subsection 1 may use the money allocated for any costs of providing child welfare

services without restriction, the agency which provides child welfare services is

not required to return any money remaining from that allocation at the end of the

fiscal year, and the money does not revert to the State General Fund. 3. If the board of county commissioners of a county whose population is 100,000 or

more appropriates to the agency which provides child welfare services for the county

an amount less than the amount appropriated to the agency for the fiscal year beginning

on July 1, 2010, the Division of Child and Family Services must reduce the amount

of the block grant awarded pursuant to subsection 1 by an equal amount.
