The Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections would close in March 2011 under the Legislature’s plan to shift the cost of incarcerating juveniles to counties. Gov.

The commission will submit recommendations to the governor by November. The panel will be called the Commission on the Dissolution of the Department of Juvenile Corrections.
