SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Criteria for detention or shelter care. Provides that a juvenile may be detained in a secure facility pursuant to a detention order or warrant when there is probable cause to believe that he violated the terms of his probation or parole and the charge for which he was originally placed on probation would have been a felony or Class 1 misdemeanor if committed by an adult. Currently, secure detention is allowed only when the juvenile is alleged to have committed an act that would be a felony or Class 1 misdemeanor if committed by an adult.
