Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 63G-1.020 - Definitions

The following definitions govern the process by which the funding of detention services is shared by state and county government:

(1) "Annual Percentage Share" is the percentage calculated for each non-fiscally constrained county, and is derived by dividing the number of service days for the county during the most recent 12-month period by the number of service days for all non-fiscally constrained counties during the same period.

(2) "County of Residence" means the county where, at the time of referral, a youth resides, as determined by a department intake officer pursuant to Rule 63G-1.021, F.A.C., and entered in the Juvenile Justice Information System, except for the youth described in subsection 63G-1.021(2), F.A.C., below.

(3) "Detention care" means secure detention and respite beds for youth charged with domestic violence related offenses.

(4) "Fiscally constrained county" means a county which is not required to pay the cost of its resident youths' detention services, by virtue of its location in a rural area of opportunity designated by the Governor, or because the value of a mill would raise no more than $5, 000, 000.00 million in revenue based on its certified school taxable value from the previous July 1.

(5) "Juvenile Justice Information System" (JJIS) means the department's electronic information system used to gather and store information on youth having contact with the department.

(6) "Juvenile Probation Officer" (JPO) means the primary case manager for the purpose of managing, coordinating, and monitoring the services provided and sanctions required for youth on probation, post-commitment probation or conditional release supervision.

(7) "Most recently completed 12-month period" is the period beginning on May 1 and ending on April 30.

(8) "Non-fiscally constrained county" is a county that does not meet the requirements of subsection (4), of this rule section, and does not operate its own juvenile detention facility.

(9) "Service day" means any day or portion of a day spent by a youth in state detention care.

(10) "Total Service Days" means the number of service days that were generated by all youth during the most recently completed 12-month period in state detention care, including the following:

(a) Resident youth of fiscally-constrained counties;

(b) Resident youth of non-fiscally constrained counties;

(c) Youth residing out-of-state; and,

(d) Youth from counties that operate their own detention centers.

(11) "Total Shared Detention Costs" means the amount expended by the department for the costs of detention care for the prior fiscal year, including the most recent certify forward amounts, minus funds expended on detention care for youth residing in fiscally constrained counties, youth residing in counties that operate their own detention centers, and youth from out-of-state. The amount is derived from total detention costs, which are the expenditures from all legislatively approved funds and appropriation categories for detention care for the prior fiscal year, including the most recent actual certify forward amounts, as reduced by the calculation in rule subsection 63G-1.022(3), F.A.C.
