43-4102. Nebraska Juvenile Service Delivery Project; expansion; funding; information-sharing process; established; detention costs; payment.

(1) It is the intent of the Legislature that the Nebraska Juvenile Service Delivery Project, established as a pilot program under section 43-4101 within the Office of Probation Administration, be expanded statewide in a three-step, phase-in process beginning July 1, 2013, with full implementation by July 1, 2014. The expansion of the project will result in the Office of Probation Administration taking over the duties of the Office of Juvenile Services with respect to its previous functions of community supervision and parole of juvenile law violators and of evaluations for such juveniles. The Office of Juvenile Services shall continue for the purpose of operating the youth rehabilitation and treatment centers and the care and custody of the juveniles placed at such centers. Expansion of the project shall be funded by the transfer of funds from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Juvenile Services used to fully fund community-based services and juvenile parole to the Office of Probation Administration.

(a) A juvenile has no prior contact with the juvenile justice system and is placed in predisposition detention; or

(b) A juvenile is placed in predisposition detention for a new violation of law while under the supervision of the Office of Probation Administration.

(4) It is the intent of the Legislature that detention costs for a juvenile shall be paid by the Office of Probation Administration in the following situations:
