HB 196 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

Juvenile detention, management of county juvenile detention facilities further provided for

HB 196 allows a county commission to assume the supervision and administration of its county's juvenile detention facility and its employees. This can occur if the presiding juvenile judge makes a written request and the commission adopts a resolution within 90 days of the act's effective date. If the commission takes over, it may hire a detention superintendent to manage the facility. Additionally, the Supreme Court of Alabama is directed to review and revise the Rules of Juvenile Procedure to comply with these changes.
