Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program; create state associate and standardize operations of local programs.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a state Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) association to standardize how local programs operate across Mississippi. It requires local CASA programs to be governed by diverse boards of directors and mandates that volunteers undergo specific training while representing the best interests of children involved in abuse, neglect, or dependency cases. The legislation also creates new duties for court clerks and program directors, including requirements for data reporting and supervision ratios, while prohibiting employees of the Department of Child Protection Services from serving as volunteers or board members.
