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.
