his pleasure.

Governor's Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee shall serve in an advisory
capacity to the Governor as required by Federal law. The Committee shall

the Department of Social and Health Services for review and comment, to the
Governor, and to the Legislature.
3. Subject
to the availability of Federal funds, the Department of Social and Health
Services shall provide staff support for the Committee in order to:
(a) provide
analysis of juvenile delinquency problems;

grants and other financial and technical assistance to eligible applicants; and
(d) carry
out such other responsibilities, including administrative support activities,
as requested, to enable the Committee to perform its functions.

reimbursement for travel expenses as authorized by law.
5. Executive
Order 75-04 is hereby rescinded.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto
