IV, TRANSPORTATION CO:MPONENT A. Definition For the purposes ofthe SDSS Program, the Transportation component is defined as the transport, to or from Attendant Care or Detention, of a juvenile who has been identified as eligible for SDSS reimbursement for placement in either of these supervision settings. B. Eligibility for Transportation Reimbursement A juvenile that has been determined eligible for either Attendant Care or Detention, as established by these guidelines, is eligible for reimbursed transport to that supervision setting if the setting is outside of the county placing the juvenile. Reimbursement would also be available for transport from the site of supervision back to the law enforcement or juvenile court facility for release, placement, hearing, or evaluation. The county whose sheriff is responsible for transporting the juvenile is therefore eligible for the reimbursement detailed below. Reimbursement under the SDSS Program will not be provided for transport of the juvenile to or from locations or facilities that are not providing SDSS supported Attendant Care or Detention. Reimbursement under the SDSS Program will not be provided for transport to for from Attendant Care or Detention of juveniles which are ineligible for reimbursement of their placement costs. Reimbursement under the SDSS Program will not be provided for the transport of juveniles either to or from locations outside of the State of North Dakota. C. Transportation Operating Procedures The existing operating policies and procedures of the sheriffs department, which pertain to the transport of juveniles, will apply to transport under the SDSS Program. If a county has not developed operating policies and procedures for transportation, it is required that they do so prior to requesting reimbursement. D. Reporting As stated in the previous section, all county or multi-county facilities securely detaining juveniles are currently required to submit Juvenile Detention Records (SFN 17080) or its electronic equivalent to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (Appendix A), A reference number (i.e. detention tracking number) identifying the specific placement must be submitted with the county's request for transportation reimbursement. E. Payment/Reimbursement Schedule Reimbursement of transportation costs will be made directly to the county or sheriffs department and will be based on the schedule below. All un-reimbursed costs will remain the responsibility of the county as provided by State law. This reimbursement is distinctly separate from the reimbursement allowed by NDCC 27-20-49 for the transportation of a child in the legal custody of a state agency. July 2008 - Page 11
