The bill also requires the Administrator to submit annual reports to the Governor and the General Assembly by February of each even-numbered year.

The transfer process requires written approval from the directors of both the Juvenile Justice and Corrections departments, and the two agencies must create an agreement to set rules for who qualifies and how transfers are handled.
