COUNTY ATTORNEY – FLORIDA ASSOCIATION OF <br />COUNTIES VS. STATE OF FLORIDA – JUVENILE JUSTICE <br />COST SHIFT <br /> <br />County Attorney Collins reviewed his memorandum of June 29, 2004 concerning <br />the Department of Juvenile Justice cost-shift on detention. The State has made it the counties’ <br />responsibility for housing of juveniles pending adjudication. It is structured so we will pay for <br />Indian River County juvenile residents for any reason until their case is disposed of. The FACo <br />says this is an unfunded mandate contrary to the State’s Constitution as the cost shift was not <br />rds <br />approved by 2/3 of the Legislature. FACo thinks it is important to draw the line on unfunded <br />mandates. He did not see a need for us to be a named party in this suit because many of the larger <br />counties are involved probably because of a larger fiscal impact on them.
