| Formal Name: | Nebraska Children's Commission |
| Contact Person: | Sage Leis |
| Purpose: | The Nebraska Childrens Commission was created as a result of LR37, an investigation by the Health and Human Services Committee that identified a number of gaps in the service delivery model for children and families. One of the LRs many significant findings was that a lack of clear vision and overarching planning for the provision of services for children has created a fragmented system. To remedy this problem, the legislature created the Nebraska Childrens Commission.The Nebraska Childrens Commission was created in 2012 by the Nebraska State Legislature to provide a permanent leadership forum for the collaboration for child welfare and juvenile justice reform among the three branches of government and public and private stakeholders at the state, regional, and community levels. |
