Bill > HB167

This bill amends Title 11 of the Delaware Code to modify the composition of the Family Justice Center Council by expanding its at-large membership from ten to twelve members. Specifically, the bill removes a single representative position that previously combined mental health providers and sexual assault nurse examiners, and replaces it with three distinct membership positions: one for mental health care providers, one for sexual assault or forensic nurse examiners, and one for system-based police or prosecution victim service specialists. The bill maintains the existing requirement that at-large members be selected with consideration of geographic diversity and ensure representation from each county in Delaware. This change appears aimed at providing more focused and specialized representation for different professional groups involved in victim services, allowing for more targeted expertise within the Family Justice Center Council's membership.
