Section 2-7-608 - Expansion of preadjudicatory secure detention beds - Responsibility for regional juvenile facility in southwestern part of state
A. Beginning July 1, 1995, the Office of Juvenile Affairs shall oversee the expansion of the number of preadjudicatory secure detention beds available in this state. It is the intent of the Legislature to establish detention beds on a geographic basis throughout the state in order to provide more accessibility to services for all regions of the state. The beds established by this subsection shall be established and operated in accordance with Section 2-3-103 of this title.
B. Effective July 1, 1995, the responsibilities for establishing and operating a regional juvenile facility in the southwestern part of the state shall be transferred to the Office of Juvenile Affairs. The facility shall include six transitional beds and seventy medium secure beds for such programs as the Office of Juvenile Affairs determines will most appropriately and effectively provide required services; provided, no more than thirty-two beds shall be used for any one type of program. It is the intent of the Legislature that the Office of Juvenile Affairs locates an existing facility that can be remodeled and used for this purpose.
C. Beginning July 1, 1998, detention beds constructed and operated by a county solely through revenues from county sources shall be exempt from the provisions of the State Plan for the Establishment of Juvenile Detention Services adopted pursuant to subsection D of Section 2-3-103 of this title.
D. The Board of Juvenile Affairs shall promulgate rules to implement the provisions of this act.
