(a) (Blank).
(b) Domestic Violence Abuser Services Fund; administration. There is
created a Domestic Violence Abuser Services Fund in the State Treasury. Moneys
deposited into the Fund under Section 15-70 of the Criminal and Traffic Assessments Act shall be appropriated to the
Department of Human Services for the purpose of providing services specified by
this Section. Upon appropriation
of moneys from the Domestic Violence Abuser Services Fund, the
Department of Human Services shall set aside 10% of all
appropriated funds for the purposes of program training, development and
assessment. The Department shall make grants of all remaining moneys from the
Fund to qualified domestic violence abuser services programs through a
competitive application process. A "qualified domestic violence abuser
services program" is one which the Department determines is in compliance with
protocols for abuser services promulgated by the Department. To the extent
possible the Department shall ensure that moneys received from penalties
imposed by courts in judicial districts are returned to qualified abuser
services programs serving those districts.
