HB 1060 Threatens Assistance Program
HB 1060 jeopardizes federal appropriations for TANF, a program that is instrumental in providing assistance to needy families by promoting job training and counseling, helping to prevent unwanted pregnancies, and encouraging the establishment of two-parent families. The bill also requires legislative approval for certain actions by the Dept. of Human Services, thereby increasing bureaucratic red tape that will likely lead to delays in providing timely service to needy individuals.
