-
Establishes that the Child Advocacy Center Fund applies only in counties where a Children's Advocacy Center provides services and must be used for the center's operation and administration through grants made by the county board.
-
Maintains provisions for other existing funds including the DUI Fund, Trauma Center Fund, Drug Treatment Fund, Sexual Assault Services Fund, and County Jail Medical Costs Fund, with specific uses outlined for each.
