SUBJECT: Interim Council on
Domestic Violence –
Proposed Administrative Order |
By: Barry Jeffrey Stern
Assistant Attorney General
At Commissioner Nix’s request, I have drafted a proposed administrative
order which establishes an Interim Council on Domestic Violence
and Sexual Assault. As you are aware, the legislation establishing
the Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault did not include
a specific effective date. Consequently, the legislation takes
effect 90 days after the Governor signed the bill, which would
be October 24, 1981.
Commissioner Nix feels that there is a pressing need to establish
the Council as soon as possible in order to allow it to begin
work on some of its duties, most notably, establishing a data
base. The proposed administrative order establishes an Interim
Council on Domestic Violence which expires on the date the actual
council comes into existence.
You should note that the duties assigned to the interim council
are largely administrative. Additionally, the interim council
is given authority to start the hiring process for an executive
director. Finally, the administrative order allows the Governor
to appoint the public members to the permanent council at the
same time he appoints the interim public members. Presumably,
the public members on the interim and permanent councils will
be the same.
If I can be of any further assistance to you with regard to
this matter, please contact me at your convenience.
