DCYF will also be responsible for depositing a minimum of $25 per month into this account.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation also charges DCYF to convene a stakeholder group which will develop an implementation plan and ensure statewide access to developmentally and culturally appropriate financial education for dependent youth ages 12 and older.
