SB 308
Positive Alternatives for Pregnancy and Parenting Grant Program; establish; definitions; administration and duties
Bill Summary: SB 308 creates the Positive Alternatives for Pregnancy and Parenting Grant Program within the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH). The purpose of this grant program is to promote healthy pregnancies and childbirth by awarding grants to non-profit organizations that provide pregnancy support services. DPH will oversee the program and execute a legal contract with a contract management agency ("agency") to administer the program. The agency will be responsible for creating a grant application process, monitoring compliance, and coordinating correspondence between DPH and direct client service providers ("providers").
The grant program will fund these eight services: (1) medical care and information (such as pregnancy tests, STI tests, health screenings, ultrasounds, prenatal care, and birth classes); (2) nutritional services and education; (3) housing, education, and employment assistance; (4) adoption education, planning, and services; (5) child care assistance; (6) parenting education and support services for up to one year after the birth of the child; (7) material items such cribs, car seats, formula, etc.; and (8) information regarding health care benefits. Grants will be awarded annually on competitive basis to providers that display competent experience in providing the eight grant-funded services above. DPH will determine the maximum grant amount awarded to each provider. Grants cannot exceed 85 percent of such provider's annual revenue for the prior year.
Further, the bill requires each provider to maintain accurate records and report data to the agency on an annual basis. Reports must include the number of clients who utilized pregnancy support services;
