(b) The county department of the county of the court that placed the juvenile in the juvenile correctional facility or secured residential care center for children and youth.
(c) The county department of the juvenile’s county of legal residence.
The revised statutory language in this paragraph and throughout Ch. 938 and related statutes (for example, s. 48.526) eliminates the distinction between “aftercare” and “Corrective Sanctions” in describing services provided by the Department of Corrections (DOC) to youth released or transferred from a juvenile correctional facility by the Office of Juvenile Offender Review under s. 938.50. Chapter DOC 393 must be changed to conform to the statute. Updates to the rules are also needed to reflect current DOC policies and procedures. Rules of supervision in s. DOC 393 need to be updated to reflect types of youth conduct that have come into prominence in the past decade, such as social media activity.
References to the Extended Jurisdiction disposition in the former s. 48.366 should be eliminated. No youth has received the Extended Jurisdiction disposition since June 30, 1996 when it was removed from statute. Currently, s. 48.366 describes eligibility for extended out-of-home care for youth who need ongoing services after turning age 18. 5. ESTIMATE OF AMOUNT OF TIME THAT STATE EMPLOYEES WILL SPEND DEVELOPING THE RULE AND OTHER RESOURCES NECESSARY TO DEVELOP THE RULE.
The Department estimates that it will take approximately 100 hours to develop this rule, including drafting the rule and complying with rulemaking requirements.
6. LIST WITH DESCRIPTION OF ALL ENTITIES THAT MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE PROPOSED RULE.
Rule revisions will primarily affect the DOC Division of Juvenile Corrections. The provision of correctional aftercare by county human/social services agencies will continue as is. This rule will affect juveniles in the department’s custody and department staff.
7. SUMMARY AND PRELIMINARY COMPARISON WITH ANY EXISTING OR PROPOSED FEDERAL REGULATION THAT IS INTENDED TO ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES TO BE REGULATED BY THE PROPOSED RULE.
No federal regulations are affected or have an effect on the proposed changes.
8. ANTICIPATED ECONOMIC IMPACT OF IMPLEMENTING THE RULE. NOTE IF THE RULE IS LIKELY TO HAVE AN ECONOMIC IMPACT ON SMALL BUSINESSES.
Rule changes will have minimal to no economic impact statewide or locally.
