Plain-English Summary
Section 6-1302 defines a term that does real work elsewhere in Article 13: “non-probation-based programs and services.” The definition points to two statutes — Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 29-2246(12) and 29-2252(16) — that authorize these programs, and adds a second requirement: the program has to operate under an interlocal agreement with the Administrative Office of Probation.
That combination matters because Section 6-1301 applies its service standards to both ordinary court-ordered services and to judges presiding over these non-probation-based programs. Knowing exactly what counts as one tells a program, a court, or a family whether the Standardized Model for Services in Section 6-1301 reaches a particular specialty program, or whether that program falls outside this definition entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a “non-probation-based program or service” under Nebraska’s rules?
A program or service authorized under Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 29-2246(12) and 29-2252(16) that operates pursuant to an interlocal agreement with the Administrative Office of Probation.
Why does it matter whether a program fits this definition?
Section 6-1301 requires services ordered by judges presiding over non-probation-based programs to meet the Standardized Model for Services, so this definition determines which programs that requirement reaches.
Does a program need an interlocal agreement to count as “non-probation-based” under this rule?
Yes. The definition requires both statutory authorization and an interlocal agreement with the Administrative Office of Probation.
Are problem-solving courts an example of a non-probation-based program?
Some can be. Section 6-1208 requires most problem-solving courts to use probation personnel, but certain programs, like family dependency drug courts, may operate on a non-probation basis and fall within this definition.
Where do these authorizing statutes come from?
Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 29-2246(12) and 29-2252(16), the statutes cited directly in this section as the source of authorization for non-probation-based programs.
