LB 684 adopts the Juvenile Probation Administration Act.
The bill transfers the juvenile probation functions from the Office of Probation Administration (currently part of the judicial branch) to a
newly created Juvenile Probation Agency within the executive branch . This shift would centralize juvenile probation under the
Governor’s administration rather than the judiciary.
The Supreme Court has confirmed that Juvenile Probation expenses are covered under its budget through Program 437 (Juvenile
Justice). For FY24- 25, funding for this program, as set by LB814 (2023), includes $71,283,124 in General Funds and $25,000 in Cash
Funds.
As for the next biennium, the Appropriations Committee’s preliminary budget recommendations keeps Program 437 funding unchanged
for FY26-27, apart from the addition of Federal Funds. Given this, the current allocation is expected to shift to the Juvenile Probation
Agency on July 1, 2026.
