Atchison County directs county counselor to request Attorney General opinion on JCAB question with Leavenworth County
Summary
The commission authorized the county counselor to send a drafted letter to the Kansas Attorney General requesting an opinion about whether the First Judicial District Juvenile Corrections Advisory Board (JCAB) can be combined or should be separate for Leavenworth County matters; motion passed unanimously.
During procedural business, commissioners discussed unresolved questions regarding the First Judicial District Juvenile Corrections Advisory Board (JCAB) and feedback from Leavenworth County. The county counselor had drafted a letter seeking guidance from the Kansas Attorney General, and the board moved, seconded and approved sending that draft to the Attorney General's office for an opinion.
The motion instructs the county counselor to request an AG opinion on whether JCABs in the First Judicial District (which includes Leavenworth County) may be combined or must remain separate, and to proceed with the drafted letter previously provided to the commission. The motion passed with a recorded unanimous vote.
The action is procedural and seeks an authoritative legal interpretation to resolve the interjurisdictional question; no change to existing JCAB arrangements was made pending the AG response.
