The state public defender shall have sole discretion to establish and implement the pilot project. The state public defender may implement the new pilot project in up to sixteen counties throughout the state. The purpose of the pilot project is to implement and study innovative ways, through a team approach or through other methods, to achieve positive outcomes for families, reduce trauma to young children, and deliver financial benefits to families and their communities. The state public defender may coordinate with other agencies and organizations to implement the pilot project, seek grant funding, and measure the results. The state public defender may appoint an attorney to represent an indigent person prior to initiation of formal proceedings, without court order, if such representation is deemed appropriate by the state public defender and relates to the purposes of the pilot project. 2020 Acts, ch 1040, §1 ; 2023 Acts, ch 10, §1 Referred to in §815.11
