IN RE: | SB54 by Zaffirini (Relating to the supervision of certain juvenile case managers.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The bill would require a judge to supervise a juvenile case manager if one is employed by the court, but allows the judge to delegate the duty to another officer of the court who is authorized to conduct juvenile hearings. The judge may not delegate the supervision duty to the court clerk. This requirement does not apply to a county court for which the judge has appointed one or more full-time magistrates under Section 54.1172, Government Code.
