Catch Title:              Community juvenile services.

Subject:                     Juvenile services grants.

Summary/Major Elements:

· Currently, to qualify for grants for community juvenile services, a county must form a joint powers board to serve as a community juvenile services board.  The community juvenile services board must then comply with a number of requirements to receive funding.

· This act authorizes counties to receive funding by forming a juvenile services advisory board as an alternative to a joint powers board.  The act also simplifies certain requirements for receiving grant funding.

Comments:

· This act amends a major program.
