Appropriations Subcommittee
Subcommittee Table of Contents

Group: Social Services - Department of Human Services

Agency: Human Services

Line Item: Executive Director Operations

Function

The Executive Director Operations (EDO) division includes the department director's office as well as bureaus that serve other divisions in the department or provide administrative support such as Fiscal Operations, Legal Affairs (including the Office of Public Guardian), and the Office of Licensing. EDO also includes the Utah Developmental Disabilities Council, a program that operates independently of the department, but for which the department provides administrative support.

Statutory Authority

The following laws govern the operations of the offices found within the Executive Director Operations:

  • UCA 62A-1-108 describes the appointment, qualifications, and responsibilities of the Executive Director.
  • UCA 62A-1-110 defines the authority of the Executive Director over division and office directors.
  • UCA 62A-2 sets up the process for licensing human service programs and facilities.
  • UCA 62A-14 creates the Office of Public Guardian.

Intent Language

    The Legislature intends the Department of Human Services eliminate the use of its general services internal service fund and transfer the associated assets to the Department of Human Services Executive Director Operations line item in accordance with applicable federal regulations. The Legislature further intends that the portion of the cash balance owed to the federal government be paid from the cash transferred to the department.

    All General Funds appropriated to the Executive Director Operations line item are contingent upon expenditures from Federal Funds - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (H.R. 1, 111th United States Congress) not exceeding amounts appropriated from Federal Funds - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in all appropriation bills passed for FY 2010. If expenditures in the Executive Director Operations line item from Federal Funds - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act exceed amounts appropriated to the Executive Director Operations line item from Federal Funds - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in FY 2010, the Division of Finance shall reduce the General Fund allocations to the Executive Director Operations line item by one dollar for every one dollar in Federal Funds - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act expenditures that exceed Federal Funds - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act appropriations.

    The Legislature intends the department review all oversight and audit functions for streamlining and consolidation in an effort to maximize the effectiveness of the audit process and minimize disruption to the provision of services. The Legislature further intends the study of the effectiveness of streamlining and consolidation of audit efforts by the Department of Human Services on counties and private providers be placed on the Master Study Resolution.

    The Legislature intends the Division of Facilities and Construction Management review office space management for the Department of Human Services in conjunction with the office space availability and needs of all state agencies and report back to the Office of the Legislative Fiscal Analyst on or before January 1, 2011 concerning optimal facility utilization.

Performance

The Office of the Legislative Fiscal Analyst completed an in-depth budget review of the Department of Human Services in November, 2010. As part of that review, a five year history of each agency's output and outcome measures was documented on pages 65 through 74 of Appendix 3 of the report.

Funding Detail

The Legislature passed and funded Senate Bill 50, the Drug Offender Reform Act (DORA), during its 2007 General Session. An additional $4,850,000 in General Fund was added during that year. During the 2008 General Session of the Legislature, the DORA program was transferred to the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health.

Program: Legal Affairs

Function

The Legal Affairs Program consists of the following offices:

The Office of Legal Affairs handles the cost of the Attorney General services in the department. Currently there are two full time attorneys dedicated to department issues whose personnel costs are budgeted in the Office of the Attorney General and billed to DHS.

Administrative Hearings conducts hearings required by state and federal law where persons may appeal decisions of administrative agencies in the department. Among the programs served are child abuse or neglect findings, child support enforcement, foster parent due process and licensing, and disciplinary proceedings by the Division of Juvenile Justice Services.

The Office of Public Guardian was created by the 1999 Legislature (UCA 62A-14). It provides guardianship and conservator services to legally incapacitated adults who have no willing and responsible family or friends to serve as guardians or conservators. The primary tasks of the office are to prepare documentation, evaluate, and assist the court process in establishing these functions for its clients. Office staff acts as case managers by organizing residential accommodations, overseeing health care needs, and managing the finances and real personal property of wards. As resources are limited, services are focused on incapacitated adults who are in life-threatening situations and adults who are being abused, neglected, or exploited. The office is also responsible to educate the public of its role and in general about guardians and conservators.

OSR conducts program reviews in other divisions within the department as directed by the department director. OSR also performs fatality reviews regarding deaths of individuals in the care and/or custody of various agencies within the department.

Office of Child Protection Ombudsman (OCPO) was created by the department in 1996 to investigate complaints filed against the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) and to make recommendations regarding the findings of those investigations. OCPO determines whether an act or omission of DCFS with respect to a child: 1) places a child's health or safety at risk, 2) has adequate documentation to support the removal or placement of the child, or 3) is contrary to statute, rule, or policy. The office was codified in statute during the 1998 General Session of the Legislature and this language can be found at 62A-4a-208.

Program: Utah Council for People with Disabilities

Function

Utah has decided to participate in the federal Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (Public Law 106 - 402). This federal law provides grant funds for innovative pilot service programs for people with disabilities. It also requires every participating state to have a council to serve as a coordinating, advocacy, and long range planning body for people with disabilities. The Utah Council for People with Disabilities, currently established by a Governor's executive order, advocates for the collective needs of people with disabilities in Utah and works to facilitate system changes and increased system capacity. It awards and monitors federal grants issued under the above-mentioned federal act and then evaluates the effectiveness of those grants.

The council also administers the Access Utah Network program. The Utah State Office of Rehabilitation Services and the departments of Health and Human Services fund this information delivery system jointly. Its purpose is to provide information to persons with disabilities and their families regarding assistive technology as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), including programs and services available. It operates a toll-free telephone service and maintains the following resources: 1) an internet home page, 2) a Cooperative Service Directory of program service providers, 3) a used equipment data bank, 4) an ADA resource library, and 5) a listing of assistive technology equipment available nationwide.

Funding Detail

During the 2008 Second Special Session of the Legislature, state funding for the Utah Council for People with Disabilities was eliminated to help balance the state budget.

Program: Foster Care Citizen Review Board

Function

The Foster Care Citizen Review Board (FCCRB) was started as a pilot project in 1993 to evaluate an alternative method of reviewing foster care cases. The Legislature established the FCCRB as a statewide, independent agency in 1997 to help comply with federal statute (42 U.S.C. 675(5) (B)). The statute requires the status of all children in foster care be reviewed at least every six months. Prior to the establishment of the FCCRB system, these reviews were either accomplished through an administrative review process in the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) or by the courts themselves. The courts also perform reviews - mostly during the first year a child is in custody. This program was eliminated during the 2008 Second Special Session of the Legislature.

Program: Drug Offender Reform Act - Pilot

Function

Senate Bill 50, the Drug Offender Reform Act (DORA), was passed during the 2007 General Session of the Legislature. DORA was designed to expand offender access to treatment, provide for smarter sentencing by judges, create a seamless transition for offenders re-entering the community from prison, and provide increased community supervision. This legislation was predicated on a three-year DORA pilot program in the Third Judicial District Court in Salt Lake County created during the 2005 First Special Session. During the 2008 General Session of the Legislature, the DORA program was transferred to the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health. See that section for more detailed information.
