What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill transfers from the Department of Corrections to the Department of Children and Families the administration of all juvenile correctional services currently administered by DOC. Under current law, DCF administers community-based juvenile delinquency-related services, which are defined as juvenile delinquency-related services provided under the Juvenile Justice Code, other than juvenile correctional services that are provided for a juvenile who is being held in a juvenile detention facility or who has been adjudged delinquent, placed under the supervision of DOC, and placed in a juvenile correctional facility, in the Serious Juvenile Offender Program, or on aftercare supervision administered by DOC. This bill transfers the administration of those juvenile correctional services from DOC to DCF.
