FL S0676

Redesignates "juvenile justice circuit boards" as "juvenile justice circuit advisory boards" and eliminates separate juvenile justice county councils, requiring each circuit advisory board to include county organizations representing each county in the circuit (except single-county circuits).

Establishes minimum board membership of 16 members with required representatives including the state attorney, public defender, chief judge, sheriffs, police chiefs, county commissioners, school superintendents, and youth representatives; members (except mandatory positions) must be approved by the department secretary and may serve no more than two consecutive 2-year terms.

Requires circuit advisory boards to develop comprehensive circuit plans (initially due December 31, 2014, then every 3 years) and submit annual reports to the department by August 1 each year; establishes quorum requirements of at least half of voting members and a more-than-50-percent vote threshold for measures to pass.

Specifies board duties including developing comprehensive juvenile justice plans, facilitating interagency cooperation, providing grant recommendations, and advising on prevention and early intervention programs through the Community Juvenile Justice Partnership Grant program.

Makes conforming changes to sections 790.22, 938.17, 948.51, 985.48, and 985.676 to replace references to "juvenile justice county councils" with "juvenile justice circuit advisory boards"; effective October 1, 2013.
