    4  and insert:
    5         Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subsection (2) and subsection
    6  (3) of section 20.316, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
    7         20.316 Department of Juvenile Justice.—There is created a
    8  Department of Juvenile Justice.
    9         (2) DEPARTMENT PROGRAMS.—The following programs are
   10  established within the Department of Juvenile Justice:
   11         (a) Accountability and Program Support.
   12         (d)(a) Prevention and Victim Services.
   13         (c)(b) Intake and Detention.
   14         (f)(c) Residential and Correctional Facilities.
   15         (e)(d) Probation and Community Corrections.
   16         (b)(e) Administration.
   17  
   18         The secretary may establish assistant secretary positions
   19  and a chief of staff position as necessary to administer the
   20  requirements of this section.
   21         (3) JUVENILE JUSTICE OPERATING CIRCUITS.—The department
   22  shall plan and administer its programs through a substate
   23  structure that conforms to the boundaries of the judicial
   24  circuits prescribed in s. 26.021. A county may seek placement in
   25  a juvenile justice operating circuit other than as prescribed in
   26  s. 26.021 for participation in the Prevention and Victim
   27  Services Program and the Probation and Community Corrections
   28  Program by making a request of the chief circuit judge in each
   29  judicial circuit affected by such request. Upon a showing that
   30  geographic proximity, community identity, or other legitimate
   31  concern for efficiency of operations merits alternative
   32  placement, each affected chief circuit judge may authorize the
   33  execution of an interagency agreement specifying the alternative
   34  juvenile justice operating circuit in which the county is to be
   35  placed and the basis for the alternative placement. Upon the
   36  execution of said interagency agreement by each affected chief
   37  circuit judge, the secretary may administratively place a county
   38  in an alternative juvenile justice operating circuit pursuant to
   39  the agreement.

   47         Department of Juvenile Justice; repealing s. 985.686,
