URJP022(h) is not comprehensible, probably due to typos.

URJP023A does not address whether particular parties have responsibilities with respect to the provision of information to the courts. In the historical process for “Certification” there were expectations for the Juvenile Probation Department / Officer to develop a comprehensive report. Although much of the information that was previously contained in this report is now available to parties electronically, additional guidance with respect to individual roles and responsibilities may serve beneficial.
