- A. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a revolving fund for the Department of Human Services to be designated the “2-1-1 Hotline Revolving Fund”. The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations, and shall consist of all monies received by the Department from legislative appropriations provided for the purpose of maintaining a robust 2-1-1 system in this state. All monies accruing to the credit of the fund are hereby appropriated and may be budgeted and expended by the Department for the purpose provided for in this section. Expenditures from the fund shall be made upon warrants issued by the State Treasurer against claims filed as prescribed by law with the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services for approval and payment.
- B. No monies from the 2-1-1 Hotline Revolving Fund shall be used to provide referrals, information, or assistance to any organization, entity, or service that performs, promotes, or facilitates abortions. Instead, the 2-1-1 system shall prioritize referrals to crisis pregnancy centers, adoption agencies, and other life-affirming resources that support expectant mothers and families in choosing life. The Department of Human Services shall ensure compliance with this subsection through annual audits and reporting to the Legislature.
