HF 2781 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to allocations of moneys from the juvenile detention home fund.

This Iowa bill changes how money from the juvenile detention home fund is distributed to county and multicounty facilities. Under the new rules, every eligible detention home will first receive a guaranteed $150,000 allocation for that fiscal year. Any remaining funds in the fund will then be shared among the homes based on their proportion of the total costs incurred in the previous year. The Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for calculating these amounts and managing the distribution.
