The bill would require the agency to certify pre-adjudication and public or private post-adjudication juvenile secure detention facilities, instead of the current agency practice of compliance monitoring. The agency states there are 94 pre-adjudication and public or private post-adjudication juvenile secure detention facilities that are currently in operation.
The agency estimates that the bill would require three additional staff. The three positions include two Program Specialists to perform the inspections necessary to certify facilities and one Attorney to address liability issues and for technical assistance. Salary costs are estimated at $127,720 in fiscal year 2006 and $153,264 in subsequent fiscal years. The salaries for fiscal year 2006 are for a ten-month period because it is estimated to take two month to hire the new positions. Benefits at 29.74 percent of salary costs are estimated at $37,984 in fiscal year 2006 and $45,581 in subsequent fiscal years. Travel costs for staff are estimated at $23,302 in each fiscal year. In addition to the technology costs outlined below, $10,886 for other operating expenses in fiscal year 2006 and $12,163 for other operating expenses in subsequent fiscal years are included. Estimated costs for additional staff, excluding technology costs, total $199,892 in fiscal year 2006 and $234,310 in subsequent fiscal years.
