Under existing law, on October 1, 1999, the juvenile probation services and juvenile probation officers in Mobile County and in all counties having a population of 99,000 or less, according to the 1990 federal census, were transferred to the state court system and the Administrative Office of Courts. In 1990, the population of Shelby County was 99,358. Recently, the Attorney General ruled that Shelby County has no control over the delivery of juvenile probation services. This bill would provide that juvenile probation services in Shelby County would be included in the transfer to the state court system.
