States Take Aim at Social Welfare Programs

Bans on steak and tattoos attract national attention, but other provisions raise concerns among advocates for the poor.
A New Jersey woman pays for food using a welfare card in January. Lawmakers in Kansas and Missouri are considering laws that would restrict what welfare recipients can buy using food stamps and other forms of public assistance.

State lawmakers attracted national attention this week for seeking to ban the use of welfare funds on lingerie, fortune tellers or even cookies, proposals that reflect a renewed focus on scrutinizing the social safety net as the country rebounds from the Great Recession.
A Missouri bill introduced by Republican state Rep. Rick Brattin would outlaw the use of welfare funds to purchase chips, energy drinks, soft drinks, seafood and steak. Kansas legislation, which has passed both chambers and is on its way to Gov. Sam Brownback’s desk, is a more comprehensive overhaul of how the state administers its benefits.

Food Stamps Work A Lot Better Than You Think
Critics say such measures stigmatize the poor and that Republicans, who are often behind the efforts, are simply playing politics in limiting assistance programs – especially since the money is provided by the federal government rather than the state. Proponents point out that states still share the administrative costs and have an interest in pursuing programs that are effective in getting people back to work, regardless of how they’re funded.
According to those who study welfare, recipients usually prioritize the money for essentials. So provisions like those in the Kansas bill – which outlaws spending welfare money at cruise ships, tattoo parlors, casino and strip clubs – are symbolic at best.
“It’s this old idea that the poor and welfare recipients are somehow different than the rest of us, that we need to put in place controls and regulations,” says Mark Rank, a Washington University professor and author of “Living on the Edge: The Realities of Welfare in America.”
“It is also feeding into this stereotype that people have a good life on welfare and are living it up and having lobster and steak,” he says, adding, “most people are struggling to get by and the job of being poor is a very hard job."
The very poor have access to public welfare through a number of federally funded programs administered by the states. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) provides short-term funds for families struggling to make ends meet through an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card that works like a debit card. Through Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), households bringing in under a certain level of income can receive monthly allotments for food, also administered on an EBT card.
“The interest for state lawmakers has been that, even as as the economy has improved, they continue to see a lot of individuals being ad.
The document provides an annual report for the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits (MCN) for 2009. It summarizes that MCN's mission is to inform, promote, connect and strengthen individual nonprofits and the nonprofit sector in Minnesota. In 2009, MCN advocated for property tax exemptions for nonprofits, published reports on the impact of the recession, hosted educational events and trainings for over 4,800 people, and provided resources and policy updates online and through social media to support Minnesota nonprofits. Financially, MCN ended 2009 in a solid position and adopted a strategic plan to further strengthen and prepare nonprofits for the changing environment.
The document summarizes career services and opportunities provided by the MSU Law Career Services Office. It discusses the office's leadership, programs to help students develop skills and find employment, workshops and panels on legal careers, externship opportunities in the US and abroad, and the Washington DC semester program. The CSO works closely with students from their first year on advising, networking, and securing rewarding legal employment.
Federal laws and regulations intended to detect criminal activity have made it difficult for legal cannabis businesses to obtain banking services, despite operating legally under state laws. This creates public safety issues as businesses deal in large amounts of cash. In response, federal guidance was issued in 2014 by the DOJ and FinCEN clarifying how financial institutions can serve cannabis businesses in compliance with priorities focused on preventing diversion, criminal enterprises, and other issues. However, most banks remain hesitant due to money laundering statutes and obligations to monitor customers. Bipartisan legislation has been introduced to provide a safe harbor for banks working with legal cannabis businesses.
Sonoma County Medical Services Program (2008)MarlaStuart
The number of Sonoma County CMSP enrollees is increasing.
- 11,977 different residents received CMSP from December 2006 to July 2008, representing 4% of adults ages 19-65.
- The number of enrollees increased from 3,431 in December 2006 to 4,440 in July 2008, a 29% rise.
- On average, 468 individuals each month are new enrollees, representing 11% of all enrollees that month.
With 2016 underway – and a constant need to stay atop the ever-changing regulatory environment – make sure you are aware of the primary topics the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and financial regulators will focus on this year.
Among the hot topics, we’ll touch on rulemaking that will impact:
Data quality
Military Lending
Alternative data
Access to credit
This article discusses efforts by officials in Mississippi to raise awareness about human trafficking. It notes that many individuals charged with prostitution and other minor offenses were likely victims of human trafficking. The article provides signs that someone may be a victim, such as homelessness, drug/alcohol abuse, STDs, and withdrawn behavior. It states that police, youth courts, and social workers are among those likely to encounter victims. The goal is to educate those groups and help communities develop plans to address human trafficking.
The document provides highlights from the 1st quarter of 2015, including:
- Nearly 5,000 credit union leaders attended CUNA's 2015 Governmental Affairs Conference in Washington D.C.
- Tony Budet of University Federal Credit Union introduced CUNA's Member Activation Program to increase advocacy effectiveness.
- Dan Kester of Sooper Credit Union was inducted into the Credit Union House Hall of Leaders in recognition of his leadership.
- Regulatory relief for small institutions is a theme in Congress in the early part of 2015, with CUNA continuing to advocate for relief proposals.

Fact Sheet on Penn State NCAA Sanctions
Below please see information regarding recent decisions surrounding the NCAA-imposed
sanctions on Penn State.
How Does the NCAA Work?
The NCAA is a membership and a rules-based organization―rules which a member institution
must abide by to join. The NCAA’s rules can be found at www.ncaa.org. NCAA enforcement staff
holds member institutions accountable by seeking out and processing information about
possible violations of NCAA rules.
i
The NCAA controls member institution ability to participate.
Institutions fulfill their membership obligation by fully cooperating with enforcement staff,
Infractions and Infractions Appeals Committees; disclosing to the enforcement staff all relevant
information regarding potential violations; and protecting the integrity of the investigation (i.e.,
limiting information disclosure relevant to the investigation).
ii
NCAA Sanctions Overview
On July 23, the NCAA announced their penalties and corrective actions against Penn State which
include:
o A University payment of $60 million over five years into a special endowment created to fund
programs that prevent child sexual abuse and assist victims of child sexual abuse.
o A four year ban on post-season football games, and a scholarship reduction. All Penn State
football wins from 1998-2011 will be vacated.
o The University must enter into an Athletic Integrity Agreement and engage a third-party
monitor to oversee compliance with the AIA and the NCAA’s constitution and bylaws. Former
Maine Senator, George Mitchell, was named as the NCAA’s third-party monitor.
o A five-year probationary period.
NCAA Consent Decree Acceptance
Penn State President Rodney Erickson, with input from legal counsel and members of the
executive committee of the Board of Trustees, accepted the NCAA-imposed penalties.
After much deliberation and many discussions with the NCAA and legal counsel, it was clear that
there was no real opportunity for negotiation and that accepting the Consent Decree was the
best outcome achievable.
Both the Consent Decree and Mark Emmert’s statement at the press conference clearly state
that a multi-year death penalty was being considered by the NCAA. The University seriously
considered and accepted the NCAA’s Consent Decree to avoid greater penalties, including a
multi-year death penalty.
As part of the choice between the Consent Decree or not to play football, the University chose
the former. While a painful decision, it was ultimately the best course to accept the imposed
ruling and begin implementing the necessary changes to move forward.
http://www.ncaa.org/
Consultation with the Board of Trustees
President Erickson conferred with the Board of Trustees’ executive committee before accepting
the consent decree as a painful―but ultimately better―alternative to a likely multi-year ban on
football.

BOARD HEARS FROM DEAN OF WILLIAM
MITCHELL; PRIORITIZES 2016 LEGISLA-
TIVE AGENDA; AGREES TO LEAD ON
DRUG SENTENCING; AND VOTES TO KEEP
BOARD AT 29.
At the Board meeting on Friday, invited guest speaker Mr. Mark
Gordon, Dean and President of William Mitchell College of Law, came and
spoke. With enthusiasm in his voice and a can-do, take-charge attitude,
Mr. Gordon spoke of the dramatic and exciting changes and challenges
that lie ahead for him, and others, as he works to wield the powers that be
into merging two of Minnesota’s finest legal institutions into one.
Mr. Gordon stated that while most law schools across the country
are cutting way back on capacity, at William Mitchell, and what soon will be
William Mitchell Hamline Law School (or the other way around), they are
doing just the opposite. Gordon said, the College is adding classes and
adding faculty, which will allow the new University to compete nationally.
Once the two colleges merge, they can boast to have the largest legal
alumnae group in the country at 18,000 individuals.
Mr. Gordon talked proudly about the new “Hybrid Program.” This is
a program that launched this past January and allows students to take up
to 15 percent of the their law classes online. The ABA recently made
changes to the online options, increasing the aggregate number of hours
that can be taken online. “The hybrid program is a redesigned approach to
law school and is like the original “night school” option of obtaining a law
degree.” The program is capped at 96 students. Many of the benefits of
the program include the online option, of course, but also simulated client
interactions and cluster classes. Mr. Gordon said they also are looking at
the medical school model of a residency program.
Additionally, once the merger is in place, students will be able to
take classes online, during the day, at night and even on the weekend.

The hybrid program is considered a 4-year program. Mr. Gordon strongly encouraged County Attor-
neys to provide him with much-needed feedback on this program, since we have a stake in the pro-
gram’s outcome. Dakota County Attorney Jim Backstrom mentioned a Prosecutor’s Clinic to Mr.
Gordon, who was very receptive to the idea.
The MCAA Board followed up with a favorable vote to create a task force of MCAA members
to work with Mr. Gordon on this clinic idea. Thanks to a number of you who have already indicated
your interest in serving on the task force. If you’re interested in serving on or keeping up-to-date with
the task force and it’s work, please let Laura Fenstermaker know by emailing her at lfenstermak-
er@mcaa-mn.org and we will add you to our distribution list.
A conversation about the 2016 legislative session and what the MCAA agenda might look like
was started by member and leadership in September at the Leadership Forum and continued after-
ward with some follow-up by specific work groups. At Friday’s Board meeting discussion continued.
The legislature doesn’t convene until a very late start date of March 8, 2016, due to ongoing con-
struction of the new senator offices building and improvements taking place inside the Capitol. Even
so, it’s never too early to get your ducks in a row on one’s work. As such, the Board prioritized it’s
top three agenda items:
1. Drug Sentencing
2. Child Protection Grant appropriation
3. Omnibus bill that would contain some other non-controversial changes to help prosecutors do
their jobs better or perhaps solve an inconsistency in a statute.
On Drug Sentencing, the Board voted to take a leadership role on this issue. Last year, the
MCAA worked on this issue but could not garner consensus among all the stakeholders. A position
paper titled: “Drug Sentencing Reform” and “MCAA Proposed Changes to Sentencing Laws” can be
found on the front page of the MCAA website under the members only section. These documents
will guide the work of the MCAA. The Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines Commission is taking a
strong interest in suggesting their own recommendations on drug sentencing and has clearly com-
municated that if the legislature doesn’t act, the commission is positioning itself to do so.
Another issue on the MCAA agenda is to secure an appropriation under the Child Protection
Grant Allocation statute, which would amend Minn. Stat. §256M.41. The money would be for County
Attorney legal services in carrying out responsibilities under section 626.556 and 626.5561 and sec-
tion 260, 260C, and 260D. The Juvenile Law Committee members are working on drafting some
language for consideration.
The next Board Meeting is December 2, 2015 at the Hilton Minneapolis St. Paul Hotel, Mall of Amer-
ica at the Annual Meeting. If you’re interested in attending this meeting, please let me know by
emailing me at lfenstermaker@mcaa-mn.org. Thank you.
