8-1185. Allocation of funds
(Caution: 1998 Prop. 105 applies)
A. Of the monies expended in a fiscal year from the program account of the early
childhood development and health fund established by section 8-1181, no more than ten
percent may be used to fund statewide grants or programs undertaken directly by the board
pursuant to section 8-1192.
B. Of the monies in the program account used to fund approved regional plans in a
fiscal year, thirty-five percent must be provided to fund regional plans based on the
population of children aged five and younger in the region. Forty percent must be
provided to fund regional plans based on the population of children aged five and younger
in the region whose family income does not exceed one hundred percent of the federal
poverty guidelines as defined by section 46-801(9). The remaining twenty-five percent may
be used to fund regional programs without consideration of regional population. For the
purpose of this section, the board shall estimate population based on available
information and using a method chosen at its discretion.
