Report to Governor, General Assembly, Governor's Office for Children, Advisory Council for Children, & Joint Committee on Children, Youth, & Families due July 1, 2008 (Chapter 466, Acts of 2006; Chapter 460, Acts of 2007).

The Delinquency Prevention and Diversion Services Task Force was authorized on July 1, 2006 (Chapter 466, Acts of 2006). The Task Force was to study, survey, and assess the adequacy, quality and quantity of delinquency prevention and diversion services provided to juvenile offenders in Maryland. Such services, which could be mandated, included: behavior management and counseling; drug and alcohol treatment; monitoring; relocation; community service; family and parental counseling; and mental health services. They also covered job, career and skills training; work opportunities; tattoo removal; mentoring; social and health services; after-school programs; youth bureau services; truancy and drop-out prevention policy and programs; general education development (G.E.D); vocational and alternative high school programs; school re-entry options; and community conferencing programs. Further, the Task Force reviewed what services were provided to youths processed through intake by the Department of Juvenile Services but not adjudicated delinquent or committed to a juvenile facility.

Authorization for the Task Force expired September 30, 2008, but the Task Force continued to meet through September 2009.
