SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Predispositional detention of juveniles. Makes it clear that a juvenile and domestic relations district court judge has the authority to order a juvenile into detention prior to final disposition even if the juvenile was not ordered into detention when first taken into custody. This bill does not change the statutory criteria that must be met before detention is ordered. An August 2002 Attorney General Opinion stated that a judge has no authority to temporarily detain a juvenile after an adjudication hearing but pending the disposition hearing when the juvenile was not originally taken into custody and detained. This bill is identical to SB 1060.
