Function

The Prosecution Council line item has only one program�the Prosecution Council program. The council was created by legislative act in 1990. The statutory charge of the council is to: '(a) provide training and continuing legal education for the State and local prosecutors; (b) provide assistance to local prosecutors; and (c) as funds are available provide reimbursement for unusual expenses relative to prosecution for violations of State Laws.' The council is funded from the Public Safety Support Fund.

The Prosecution Council, though housed in the Attorney General's office for administrative purposes, has a separate, statutorily created charter and board of directors to whom the council's director and staff are responsible. The AG's office provides budgeting and accounting support and day-to-day management supervision through the Criminal Division.

Staff members are coordinators for the Interstate Agreement on Detainers and the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act. In this capacity, they review extradition cases on behalf of the Attorney General's Office and advise the Governor's Extradition's Coordinator on legal matters concerning extradition.

Statutory Authority

Statutory Authority governing the Prosecution Council is found in UCA 67-5a.
