Youth court and youth court referees; regulate.

HB 1671 updates Mississippi's youth court system by revising regulations for youth court referees and the Mississippi Council of Youth Court Judges. It requires referees (with a grandfather clause for those appointed before 1991) to be attorneys and complete mandatory judicial training and annual continuing education, with removal for missing two consecutive training sessions or one session within six months of appointment. The bill also mandates the Council to meet annually, submit annual reports to the Governor and Supreme Court, and manage federal funds for youth court training. These changes directly affect youth court referees, judges, and the Council, aiming to standardize training and improve juvenile justice administration.
