AI Summary

  • Removes references to "predisposition" detention and establishes that counties share costs for all "detention care" provided to juveniles.

  • Defines "actual cost" as funds the Department of Juvenile Justice expends for detention care minus grants and federal funding received.

  • Creates new category of "participating counties" (non-fiscally constrained counties that don't provide detention care) required to pay 50 percent of total actual detention costs based on their usage.

  • State assumes full payment of detention costs for fiscally constrained counties and out-of-state juveniles; department must notify participating counties by August 1 each year of their usage percentage and required payment amount.

  • Changes county payment schedule from monthly estimates to monthly installments of one-twelfth of prior fiscal year's actual costs, beginning July 1 following department notification.
