Relating to authorizing the Supreme Court of Appeals to create child protection commissioners

Summary

The bill lets the Supreme Court of Appeals create a pilot program of child‑protection commissioners—retired judges, justices, or licensed attorneys with juvenile‑law experience. These commissioners can be paid per diem, receive expense reimbursements, and keep their retirement annuities while serving in one or more circuit regions. The change is meant to address shortages of child‑welfare lawyers and protectors in the state.
