The bill amends current laws regarding the management of county juvenile detention facilities in Alabama. It allows a county commission to assume supervision and administration of these facilities upon a written request from the presiding juvenile judge. The commission must adopt a resolution within 90 days of the bill's effective date to take on this responsibility, which includes the authority to hire a detention superintendent to oversee the facility and its employees.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the Supreme Court of Alabama review and revise the Rules of Juvenile Procedure as necessary to ensure compliance with the new provisions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage. The new legal language includes the insertion of provisions for the county commission's authority and the requirement for the Supreme Court's review, while no specific deletions from current law are noted in the text provided.
