Description

Employment of court services unit directors. Provides that the hiring and employment of state and local court services unit directors is under the Department of Juvenile Justice. Under current law, the juvenile and domestic relations district court judge or judges appoint the director from a list of eligible persons submitted by the Director of the Department of Juvenile Justice. Transfer, demotion, or separation of a director is currently under the authority of the Director of the Department of Juvenile Justice in accordance with the Virginia Personnel Act after consulting with the judge or judges; the bill removes the requirement to consult with the judge or judges.
