Committee unanimously advances bill to add juvenile-justice representative to council
Summary
House Bill 492, which would add a juvenile-justice representative to an identified council, passed the committee unanimously; sponsor said there is no fiscal note and the role would be part of existing job duties for appointees.
Representative Marco Erickson told the committee that HB 492 would add a representative from juvenile justice, juvenile detention, or juvenile probation to a statutorily created council so the council has direct practitioner representation. Erickson said he confirmed with council members that the position would be part of existing job duties and that the bill carries no fiscal note.
Committee members had brief questions about costs and were told there are none beyond normal duties. With no public testimony signed up, the committee voted unanimously to send HB 492 to the House floor with a due-pass recommendation.
