The committee reviewed LD196, which moves the compliance date for the state general assistance database to 2028 and provides funding for initial implementation and ongoing maintenance.
Department staff told the committee the bill requires a February update to the committee on database progress and provided fiscal numbers for initial development ($23,250,000) and ongoing costs ($450,000). Members had no further substantive changes and the committee completed review of the language.
What’s next: department to produce the February progress update to the committee and begin initial implementation planning.
