10    and personal development in a safe and secure environment; and
11        WHEREAS, the clients now being admitted are the most difficult cases with-
12    out  other options for care in the private sector because they are too danger-

22    service at the earliest possible time to meet the public need.
23        NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the First Regular Session
24    of the Fifty-fifth Idaho Legislature, the House  of  Representatives  and  the
25    Senate concurring therein, that the Legislature hereby authorizes and provides
26    approval  for  the Department of Health and Welfare to enter into an agreement
