Funds are provided in Specific Appropriation 841A to enhance educational
programs for male and female youthful offenders.  These funds shall be
placed initially in reserve and shall be released only upon receipt of
an implementation plan to increase the number of male and female
youthful offenders receiving General Equivalency Diplomas and vocational
certificates in occupational fields with a demonstrated job market labor
demand.  The implementation plan must:  (1) give priority to inmates
within five years of release, (2) contain measurable outcomes and
outputs with standards and time frames by which the standards will be
achieved, and (3) include an evaluation component.  In developing the
implementation plan for vocational programs, the department is
encouraged to emphasize programs which have been proven successful, such
as guide dog training.

Line item amendments are accepted as part of the amendatory process. However, due to the necessity of using computerized systems this may entail a different placement within a budget entity or the renumbering of the specific appropriation items.
