A.1. Consistent with the provisions of Chapter 198 of the 2017 Session of the General Assembly, the Director, Department of Juvenile Justice, shall implement the recommendations relating to the Department of Juvenile Justice made by the Department of Medical Assistance Services in its November 30, 2017 report on streamlining the Medicaid application and enrollment process for incarcerated individuals.
2. For the purpose of implementing these recommendations, included in the amounts appropriated for this item is $112,200 the first year and $112,200 the second year from nongeneral funds and two positions.
B. It is the intent of the General Assembly that the Department of Juvenile Justice base its rehabilitative programming on the best available evidence of effectiveness and routinely evaluate and improve its programming. To that end, the Department shall conduct a comprehensive evaluation of its rehabilitative programs for youth in direct care to ensure they align with national evidence-based practices, in accordance with the recommendations in the Joint Legislative Audit & Review Commission's 2021 report entitled "Virginia's Juvenile Justice System". The evaluation shall include an assessment of whether the Department has sufficient staffing levels to support such evidence-based programming and, if necesary, provide recommendations to address staffing shortfalls based on successful recruitment and retention practices in other states. The Department shall provide a report on its finding and recommendations to the General Assembly no later than December 1, 2024.
