STATE OF ALASKA                                                                    BILL NO. SB099
2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   This bill makes necessary updates to the terms used to describe the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) facilities and staff. The
   bill clarifies that DJJ facility staff and probation officers can hold positions of authority and serve as legal guardians of
   minors for the purposes of addressing crimes of sexual assault and sexual abuse of a minor. This clarification is necessary
   due to a court decision that found that DJJ facility staff are not currently included in the position of authority definition
   found in AS 11.41.470(5).
   The bill makes DJJ staff among the persons who are required to report child abuse and neglect. Current mandatory
   reporters include practitioners of the healing arts, school teachers, officers of the Department of Corrections, and others.
   The DJJ staff are not included in this list even though youth frequently disclose abuse to these staff and staff, in turn, make
   reports to the Office of Childrens Services (OCS). The DJJ facility and probation staff make an average of 80 protective
   services reports to OCS per year.
   The department will update the regulations addressing the management of juvenile facilities found at 7 AAC 52. The
   department expects to implement the regulation changes 120 days following the effective date.
   The bill is not expected to have a programmatic or fiscal impact on the department.
