This amendment alters the funding methodology used to distribute funds to Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) which has become outdated due to a substantial growth in CACs and a shift in the number of CACs from associate membership to accredited membership. The change anticipates continued growth of satellite centers which are not supported by the current formula. The revised formula (i) provides incentives for National Children's Advocacy Accreditation; (ii) eliminates competition between centers; (iii) eliminates subjective criteria; and (iv) provides for equitable distribution.
