Department of Juvenile Justice.
The secretary may establish assistant secretary positions and a chief of staff position as necessary to administer the requirements of this section.
A. Section 64, ch. 2020-114, amended subsections (2) and (3) “[i]n order to implement Specific Appropriation 1120 through 1203B of the 2020-2021 General Appropriations Act.”
B. Section 65, ch. 2020-114, provides that “[t]he amendments to s. 20.316(2) and (3), Florida Statutes, by this act expire July 1, 2021, and the text of those subsections shall revert to that in existence on June 30, 2020, except that any amendments to such text enacted other than this act shall be preserved and continue to operate to the extent that such amendments are not dependent upon the portions of text which expire pursuant to this section.” Effective July 1, 2021, subsections (2) and (3), as amended by s. 65, ch. 2020-114, will read:
(2) DEPARTMENT PROGRAMS.—The following programs are established within the Department of Juvenile Justice:
(a) Prevention and Victim Services.
(b) Intake and Detention.
(c) Residential and Correctional Facilities.
(d) Probation and Community Corrections.
(e) Administration.
The secretary may establish assistant secretary positions and a chief of staff position as necessary to administer the requirements of this section.
(3) JUVENILE JUSTICE OPERATING CIRCUITS.—The department shall plan and administer its programs through a substate structure that conforms to the boundaries of the judicial circuits prescribed in s. 26.021. A county may seek placement in a juvenile justice operating circuit other than as prescribed in s. 26.021 for participation in the Prevention and Victim Services Program and the Probation and Community Corrections Program by making a request of the chief circuit judge in each judicial circuit affected by such request. Upon a showing that geographic proximity, community identity, or other legitimate concern for efficiency of operations merits alternative placement, each affected chief circuit judge may authorize the execution of an interagency agreement specifying the alternative juvenile justice operating circuit in which the county is to be placed and the basis for the alternative placement. Upon the execution of said interagency agreement by each affected chief circuit judge, the secretary may administratively place a county in an alternative juvenile justice operating circuit pursuant to the agreement.
