This concurrent resolution does essentially four things:
- Ask Idaho State Government to identify barriers to partnerships with FBCOs
- Ask Idaho State Government to identify current partnerships with FBCOs
- Ask Idaho State Government to report findings to the Legislature and Governor
- Ask Idaho State Government to convene a conference with FBCOs to discuss ways to partnership
My rationale for this legislation is fairly straightforward. Times are tough. The State's social service infrastructure is being pressed to the max (and beyond). FBCOs offer fantastic alternatives for deploying services to the public. Put two and two together and we get more efficient government and more people served. Win-win.
If you've got feedback on this one, I'd love to hear it.
UPDATE - HCR 11 will be heard on Wednesday, February 18 at 9:30 AM in the House State Affairs Committee (room 145).
UPDATE 2 - HCR 11 was passed out of the House State Affairs Committee today with only one dissention. A vote of the full house should be forthcoming within the next few days.

Mr. Durst,
Please listen to the NPR (KBSU)February 11, 2009, Talk Of The Nation program, concerning the Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Parternships.
It is 17 minutes of explanations, goals and answers. It is a great base to gather information concerning the implementation of this plan.
