SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Time limitations for detention. Limits to fourteen days the length of time a juvenile can be held in secure detention if no adjudicatory hearing has been held and if the juvenile has been detained for absconding from a facility or failing to appear in court. The bill also provides that a juvenile may be confined for violating a court order only if the original charge would warrant confinement and limits such confinement to ten days. The bill prohibits placement in a juvenile detention facility of persons who violate a court order as a juvenile but are eighteen or older at the time of disposition. The bill is a recommendation of the Youth Commission.
