Section § 471.5

Explanation

Sheria hii inahitaji programu zinazofadhiliwa chini ya sura maalum kutoa ripoti za kina za kila mwaka kwa kaunti. Ripoti hizi lazima zijumuishe maelezo ya bajeti, aina za kesi, idadi ya watu waliohudumiwa, na matokeo ya migogoro. Ripoti hizo pia zinapaswa kujumuisha watumiaji wa mara kwa mara, gharama za vikao, na taarifa nyingine muhimu. Muhimu zaidi, data lazima ilinde faragha ya watu wanaotumia huduma za programu.

Kila programu inayofadhiliwa kwa mujibu wa sura hii itatoa kila mwaka kwa kaunti data za takwimu kuhusu bajeti yake ya uendeshaji; idadi ya rufaa, kategoria, au aina za kesi zilizorejeshwa kwa programu; idadi ya watu waliohudumiwa na programu; idadi ya migogoro iliyotatuliwa; asili ya migogoro iliyotatuliwa; viwango vya utii; idadi ya watu wanaotumia mchakato zaidi ya mara moja; muda na gharama zinazokadiriwa za vikao vilivyoendeshwa na programu; na taarifa nyingine yoyote ambayo kaunti inaweza kuhitaji. Data hizo zitahifadhi usiri na kutokujulikana kwa watu wanaotumia mchakato wa utatuzi wa migogoro.
