Description
Section 39.4092, Florida Statutes, directs OPPAGA to conduct an annual study of multidisciplinary legal representation (MLR) provided by Offices of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel. By December 1, 2022, and annually thereafter through December 1, 2025, the Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability must submit its analysis in a report to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The reports will include an annual update on the implementation of the approach as well as an analysis comparing outcomes for MLR programs to known outcomes for children whose parents are not served by an MLR program.
