amendment to sec.345.2, concerning the allocation of Community Corrections 
Assistance Funds to the juvenile boards. The section describes the method by 
which TJPC provides funding to juvenile boards. The section adopted on an 
emergency basis is contemporaneously proposed for public comment in this issue

the authority to improve the effectiveness of juvenile services and provide 
alternatives to commitment of juveniles by providing financial aid to juvenile 
boards to establish and improve probation services and to adopt rules for these 
purposes.
