CHEYENNE, WYOMING - A committee of lawmakers has given approval to two bills aimed at creating uniformity in how juvenile offenders are handled in Wyoming.

The bills could be considered by the full Legislature next year.

One seeks to establish intake and risk assessment standards for arresting agencies. The other aims to establish standards for the operation of juvenile detention facilities based on national criteria.

Both bills passed the Legislature's Joint Judiciary Interim Committee on Wednesday.
