What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill creates a family treatment court grant program under the Children's Code and a juvenile treatment court grant program under the Juvenile Justice Code, each of which is to be administered by the Department of Children and Families and operated within the court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under the Children's Code or Juvenile Justice Code (collectively, “juvenile court”).
Under the family treatment court grant program, DCF makes grants available to counties or Indian tribes to enable them to establish and operate programs to develop procedures that screen, assess, and provide dispositional alternatives for parents whose children have come under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. A county or Indian tribe that receives a grant must establish eligibility criteria for participation in the county's or Indian tribe's program, provide evidence-based treatment services to program participants, and integrate all services provided to program participants by various governmental and nongovernmental entities. The bill also requires counties or Indian tribes that receive those grants to submit data to DCF that must be analyzed annually by DCF. DCF must also, every five years, prepare a comprehensive report of the program.
