SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
Senate Joint Memorial
8 requests CYFD conduct a study of the various programs used throughout the
state and in other states to determine which programs are the most effective in
preventing troubled youth from becoming involved with the justice system and in
preventing repeat offenses. It requests
that CYFD report its findings to the appropriate interim Legislative committee
by October 31, 2003.
Significant
Issues
CYFD has a resource directory of community-based
providers within the state. Some
research has been done on other state resources but there is no single agency
committed to researching out-of-state programs.
JPB questions whether CYFD is the best agency to
do the study as it may emphasize current practices rather be an objective
study. It recommends a private
contractor be hired to conduct the study.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The Joint Memorial
does not provide an appropriation; however, expenses will be incurred in
preparing the report especially if the agency needs to hire a contractor to
compile the requested information.
TECHNICAL ISSUES
The CJJCC has a staff and also employs student
interns who conduct studies in corrections issues and may be the more
appropriate agency for doing the study.
