The legislature recognizes that there is a lack of adequate procedures to screen, assess and treat children for alcohol and other drug abuse. To reduce the incidence of alcohol and other drug abuse by children, the legislature deems it necessary to experiment with solutions to the problems of the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs by children by establishing a juvenile alcohol and other drug abuse pilot program in a limited number of counties. The purpose of the program is to develop intake and court procedures that screen, assess and give new dispositional alternatives for children with needs and problems related to the use of alcohol beverages, controlled substances or controlled substance analogs who come within the jurisdiction of a court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under this chapter and ch. 938 in the pilot counties selected by the department.
