Adopt a new Nebraska Juvenile Code and change child abuse reporting and registry, child relinquishment and Foster Care Review Act provisions.
| Description: |
Adopt a new NE Juvenile Code, change child abuse reporting provisions and registry, child relinquishment and Foster Care Review Act provisions. The stated intent is to organizationally realign a portion of juvenile services under the Administrative Office of the Courts and Probation to begin to fill gaps in the current Juvenile Justice System that result in families without access to services they need. By using the skills of the court’s probation staff to manage cases, juveniles and families will have a better opportunity to be provided the following: beneficial affordable community based treatment alternatives; an array of alternatives to expensive highly restrictive detention and incentives to keep youth in the home rather than out of home placement. CARRYOVER TO THE 2010 LEGISLATIVE SESSION Indefinitely postponed April 14, 2010. |
