HB 333 Juveniles not in custody; detention.

Introduced by: Albert C. Pollard, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Juveniles not in custody; detention. Provides that where a juvenile has not been taken into custody, the court nevertheless may order detention in a secure facility or in shelter care pending completion of any testing or evaluation that the court requires to complete its final order of disposition. Any such order must comply with at least one of the conditions specified in subdivisions A 1 through A 4 of § 16.1-248.1. Under current law, the court has no authority to order any form of detention for a juvenile who is not first taken into custody. This lack of authority is especially problematic where the court requires testing or evaluation of the juvenile prior to entering a final order of disposition.
