Agency: Human Services

Function

The Department of Human Services administers a variety of social services programs for the State of Utah. The Department includes the divisions of Executive Director Operations, Substance Abuse and Mental Health, Services for People with Disabilities, Aging and Adult Services, Office of Recovery Services, Child and Family Services, and Juvenile Justice Services (DJJS - formerly Youth Corrections). While DJJS is part of the Department of Human Services, its budget is reviewed in the Executive Offices and Criminal Justice Appropriations Subcommittee. For that reason, the DJJS budget and related issues are not summarized here. The Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health also oversees the treatment portion of the Drug Courts and the Drug Offender Reform Act (DORA) program. Programs within the divisions of Aging and Adult Services and Substance Abuse and Mental Health are operated at the local county level.

Statutory Authority

The Department of Human Services is established and functions under authority of Title 62A of the Utah Code.

  • UCA 62A-1-102 creates the Department of Human Services and broadly outlines its purposes.
  • UCA 62A-1-107 describes creation and purposes of state boards within the department.
  • UCA 62A-1-111 lists the department's authority.
  • UCA 62A-1-112 and UCA 62A-1-114 outline the department's role as the State agency overseeing federal social service programs.

Performance

During the 2012 General Session of the Legislature, issue briefs were presented showing a seven year history of each agency's output and outcome measures. An update of these output and outcome measures will be provided during the 2013 General Session of the Legislature. The measures presented in 2012 are found in the following issue briefs:

Special Funds

As indicated in the above table, the department also draws funds from several General Fund restricted accounts, as appropriated by the Legislature. These restricted accounts include:

  • Children's Account: UCA 62A-4a-309 - $3 surcharge on birth certificates and private contributions assessed at UCA 26-2-12.5 to provide abuse prevention programs
  • Victims of Domestic Violence Services Account: UCA 51-9-406 - 4.0 percent of surcharges on court fines and penalties to provide domestic violence services
  • Intoxicated Drivers Rehabilitation Account: UCA 62A-15-502, 62A-15-503, and UCA 51-9-407 -- 7.5 percent surcharge on court fines and penalties to provide education, intervention, and treatment of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) drivers
  • Tobacco Settlement Account: UCA 51-9-201 -- tobacco settlement payments for drug court treatment services
  • Account for People with Disabilities: UCA 63A-5-220 -- sale and lease of real property at Utah State Developmental Center where the lease payment receipts and the interest on the principal may be appropriated for disabilities-related programs identified in UCA 62A-5
  • Alzheimer's State Plan Task Force Restricted Account: -- Senate Bill 48 in the 2011 General Session established the Alzheimer's State Plan Task Force within the Division of Aging and Adult Services. S.B. 48 also created the Alzheimer's State Plan Task Force Restricted Account and provided that the task force not go into effect until at least $25,000 had been deposited into the account. The bill also required the task force to complete its duties and submit a report on its finding and recommendations to the Health and Human Services Interim Committee on or before its November 2011 meeting.

Funding Detail

The difference between 2009 Closing Nonlapsing and 2010 Beginning Nonlapsing is a one-time adjustment associated with 2009 Legislative intent language directing the department to terminate its data processing internal service fund and transfer any remaining assets to the Executive Director Operations line item.
