In accordance with L.R.S. 36:2604(C), the following identifies the Recommended Children's Budget for Fiscal Year 1998-1999. The purpose of this budget document is to identify and assemble all state programs and expenditures for children into a single document. It is intended to provide information that can be used to improve coordination among children's programs; facilitate cross-agency planning for children's programs and promote more effective service delivery to children.
The budget units listed in this document were initially identified by the Children's Cabinet through contract with the Institute for Human Services, Bethesda, Maryland and were presented as a section of the 1994-1995 Governor's Executive Budget Recommendations. For purposes of comparison, the budget units and methodologies applied in Fiscal Year 1994-1995 have been replicated with one exception, the Louisiana Systemic Initiatives Program was added to the Children's Budget in Fiscal Year 1995-1996.
