(1.5) Repealed.

(2) The executive director of the department of human services is authorized
to accept and expend on behalf of the state any grants, gifts, or donations from any
private or public source for the purposes of this section. All private and public funds
received through grants, gifts, or donations must be transmitted to the state
treasurer, who shall credit the same to the fund in addition to money credited
pursuant to subsection (1) of this section and any money that may be appropriated
to the fund directly by the general assembly. All investment earnings derived from
the deposit and investment of money in the fund remains in the fund and does not
transfer or revert to the general fund of the state or any other fund at the end of
any fiscal year.

(2.5) Notwithstanding any provision of this section to the contrary, on June 1,
2009, the state treasurer shall deduct three hundred thousand dollars from the
fund and transfer such sum to the general fund.

(3) (a) On and after July 1, 2005, the executive director of the department of
human services shall allocate the money in the fund, and any general fund money
appropriated for this purpose, to parties to a memorandum of understanding who
have agreed to collaborative management pursuant to section 24-1.9-102. The
executive director of the department of human services shall:

(I) Beginning July 1, 2023, distribute additional funds appropriated for the
2023-24 state fiscal year to the fund to existing collaborative management
programs pursuant to the funding formula in place on June 30, 2023; and

(II) Beginning July 1, 2024, provide an annual sum to each local collaborative
management program to provide services to children who would benefit from
integrated multi-agency services, including children who have had contact with law
enforcement or who are at risk of involvement with the juvenile justice system. For
the 2024-25 state fiscal year and each state fiscal year thereafter, the amount of
the sum provided to each local collaborative management program must be
determined through a funding formula that considers:

(A) The amount of money available in the fund;

(B) The need for a base of resources to direct a child and the child's family
members to appropriate services; and

(C) The number of children in the population to be served, as defined by the
memorandum of understanding pursuant to section 24-1.9-102, in each county or
region.

human services is authorized to allocate money in the fund, and any general fund
money appropriated for this purpose, to be used to cover the direct and indirect
costs of the external evaluation of the collaborative management program
described in section 24-1.9-102 and the technical assistance and training for
counties as described in section 24-1.9-102.7.

(b) For purposes of allocating money pursuant to this subsection (3), the
executive director of the department of human services shall submit an accounting
of money in the fund, and any general fund money appropriated for this purpose,
and a proposal for the allocation of money to the state board of human services for
