AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO BE PAID TO TEN PRIVATE NONPROFIT CHILD CARING AGENCIES AS GRANTS-IN-AID TO PRIVATE CHILD CARING INSTITUTIONS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  In addition to any other funds appropriated for this purpose by law, there is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Human Resources the sum of seven hundred fifty-five thousand fifty-nine dollars ($755,059) for fiscal year 1994-95 to be paid to the following 10 private nonprofit child caring agencies as State grants-in-aid:
Bertie-Martin-Beaufort Shelter Home, of Jamesville;
Caldwell Residential Services, of Lenoir;

Family Resources of Rutherford County, of Spindale;
Florence Crittenton Services, of Charlotte;

Sec. 2.  The purpose of these funds is to provide partial reimbursement to the named agencies for the placement of certain children by county departments of social services.  The children for whom these funds are appropriated are children not eligible for federal matching funds under Title IV-E foster care maintenance payments.
Sec. 3.  The funds appropriated in Section 1 shall be combined with all other funds appropriated to State grants-in-aid for payment to private child caring institutions for provision of care and services, and the 10 agencies named in Section 1 shall be added to the list of agencies eligible to receive State grants-in-aid for this purpose, so that all eligible agencies share proportionately in the grants-in-aid, in accordance with the provisions of North Carolina Administrative Code, Section 10, Subchapter 41M, for the payment of grants-in-aid to private child caring institutions.
Sec. 4.  Any future request for grants-in-aid to the 10 designated agencies shall be submitted as part of the requests of the other eligible private child caring institutions according to the provisions of NCAC 10, Subchapter 41M.
Sec. 5.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1994.
