(1) The council is authorized to adopt and, from time to time, amend such rules, regulations or bylaws as it considers necessary for the conduct of its affairs.
(2) Such rules, regulations or bylaws may provide for such officers as the council considers advisable, for the method of selection of such officers, for the selection of a time and place within this state for annual meetings of the council, and for such other matters consistent with the general laws of the state as the council may choose.
(b)
(1) The council shall make recommendations to the supreme court as to rules governing the practice and procedure in juvenile courts of this state. The supreme court may consider the council's recommendations in prescribing rules as provided in § 16-3-402.
(2) Prior to submitting its recommended rules to the supreme court, the council shall send a draft of its recommendation to the commission on children and youth. The commission shall distribute the draft to state agencies that, in the commission's opinion, may be affected by the recommended rules, and the commission will be responsible for accumulating and transmitting the comments of such agencies promptly to the council, so that the comments can be taken into account by the council in an orderly manner when preparing its final proposal of rules to be submitted to the supreme court. Thereafter, the commission shall present such accumulated comments to the court in such manner as the court may provide for receiving comment upon the proposed rules.
