Title

Relating to juvenile probation services; to amend Section 12-5A-13 of the Code of A

Summary

SB94 would move Shelby County's juvenile probation services into Alabama's state court system and Administrative Office of Courts.

What This Bill Does

It amends the law to include Shelby County in the transfer of juvenile probation services to the state court system and Administrative Office of Courts, effective October 1, 2024. It also modifies Mobile County's status under the same population-based rules, effectively excluding Mobile from the transfer while Shelby is included. The changes rely on population figures from the 1990 federal census to determine which counties are under state control.

• Shelby County residents and juvenile probation services: Shelby County's probation services would be under the state court system and Administrative Office of Courts starting October 1, 2024.
• Mobile County residents and juvenile probation services: Mobile County would be excluded from the transfer to the state system under the revised population rules.

Key Provisions

• Amend Section 12-5A-13 to include Shelby County in the counties under the control of the state court system and Administrative Office of Courts for juvenile probation services.
• Set the effective date to October 1, 2024 for the Shelby County transfer and clarify Mobile County's status changes under the population-based rules (based on the 1990 census).
