Introduced by: Robert F. McDonnell | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:
Postdispositional detention. Provides for 30 day sentencing to secure detention as a dispositional option for juveniles who have not been found delinquent within the preceding 12 months. The bill also provides that a juvenile whose current offense is a Class 1 misdemeanor can be committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice only if his previous offense was a felony. Under current law the previous offense may be a misdemeanor. Juveniles who are placed in local detention for up to six months on a suspended commitment to the state may no longer subtract time served prior to disposition. Failure in post-dispositional placement will result in commitment to the State. The Board of Juvenile Justice is required to develop standards for separate programming for post-dispositional youth. The bill is a recommendation of the Commission on Youth.
