Section 29:2EEEEEE - [Multiple versions] Violence Prevention Federal Reinvestment Trust Fund

To enhance violence prevention and intervention services, there shall be established and set up on the books of the commonwealth a separate fund to be known as the Violence Prevention Federal Reinvestment Trust Fund. There shall be credited to the fund revenues equal to the amount of federal financial participation received by the General Fund for expenditures for violence prevention and intervention services and any other reimbursements, grants, premiums, gifts, interest or other contributions from any source received that are specifically designated to be credited to the fund. The secretary of health and human services shall be the trustee of the fund.

To accommodate timing discrepancies between the receipt of revenues and related expenditures, the fund may incur expenses, and the comptroller shall certify for payment amounts not to exceed the most recent revenue estimate certified by the MassHealth director and reported in the state accounting system. Amounts credited to the fund shall be subject to further appropriation and monies remaining in the fund at the end of a fiscal year shall not revert to the General Fund and shall be available for expenditure in the subsequent fiscal year.

The secretary shall report annually on or before August 1 to the chairs of the house and senate committees on ways and means and the house and senate chairs of the joint committee on the judiciary, the joint committee on public safety and homeland security and the joint committee on public health on the revenue and expenditure activity within the trust fund.
