The looney left’s reaction…
It's not a "Fatherhood bill".
They included "fatherhood" initiatives in our regular degular Child Welfare bill that always passes unanimously because you can't vote against children.
"The new law, which takes effect July 1, was
passed unanimously in both chambers. It sets aside $60.2 million for programs to encourage fathers to be present in the home or provide male role models and mentors for at-risk youth, especially boys. Of that, $27.6 million will be issued by the Department of Children and Families (
DCF) to nonprofits to expand mentorship programs, projects that “address the comprehensive needs of fathers,” and parenting education for new fathers.
For an organization to be eligible for the grants, which will range from $25,000 to $250,000, it must serve boys ages 13-18 living in “underserved communities,” recruit and train mentors and certify the number of individuals they’ll serve. Groups can only receive one grant every three years, must submit reports on the grants to DCF, and submit to training in nonprofit management by DCF within six months of receiving the grant."

I remember initially they were discussing it because in the law being Blak made you "special needs". I'm assuming they've changed that language but I'd have to check
