The Department of Juvenile Justice's
Legislation Office is responsible for lobbying departmental
issues with the Legislature. In addition, the Department is
responsible for preparing proposed bills and amendments,
coordinating substantive legislative proposals and handling
budget requests for the department.
Furthermore, Legislative Affairs works
closely with legislative committees, assists with
constituent issues, and tracks bills affecting the Department.
Legislative Affairs also coordinates
legislative presentations for the Secretary and other
staff and prepares legislative updates for department
managers, Juvenile Justice Circuit Boards and County
Councils, and other interested persons.
External Affairs seeks to
create awareness and share the vision of those involved
in serving the at-risk youth of Florida. The goal is to
increase visibility, improve communication and build
stronger partnerships between the Department of Juvenile
Justice and its stakeholders, local communities,
community leaders at the federal, state and local
levels, schools, law enforcement, the court system and
service providers to improve the lives of the young
people in Florida.
It is the priority of External Affairs to raise awareness and enhance the
mission, vision and priorities set forth by the Governor
and the Secretary of the Florida Department Of Juvenile
Justice.
External Affairs strives
for excellence in an environment that is continually
changing to meet the needs of youth and families in
Florida.
External Affairs serves
as the liaison between the Department Of Juvenile
Justice and all external partners, along with
coordination of events for the Secretary.
