     Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Kristin Davidson for service as the Compact Administrator for the State Council for the Interstate Compact for Juveniles.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Kristin Davidson from the Judiciary.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Ms. Davidson's experience, background, and commitment to public service qualify her to be nominated for appointment as the Compact Administrator of the State Council for the Interstate Compact for Juveniles.  Your Committee notes that Ms. Davidson is currently the Social Services Manager for the Juvenile Client Services Branch of the First Circuit.  Prior to that service, Ms. Davidson served as a Field Supervisor and Prevention Coordinator at the Williamson County, Texas, Juvenile Services from November 2011 to September 2019, where she, among other things, assisted juvenile offenders and families in developing and strengthening necessary social and professional skills.  Your Committee further notes that Ms. Davidson previously served as a Criminal Justice Planning Specialist at the Department of the Attorney General from June 2010 to December 2012 and was responsible for disseminating information statewide regarding available programs and funding opportunities relating to criminal justice.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Ms. Davidson be appointed as the Compact Administrator of the State Council for the Interstate Compact for Juveniles based on her knowledge, experience, and commitment to public service.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental, and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental, and Military Affairs,
