SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Mental health assessments for certain juveniles. Requires the juvenile and domestic relations court, when the attorney for the Commonwealth is seeking commitment of a juvenile, to order that an interdisciplinary team evaluate the service needs of a juvenile who has (i) been placed in a secure facility, (ii) had a mental health assessment completed by the secure facility that has identified a mental health need or mental illness, and (iii) been adjudicated delinquent and found eligible for commitment. A report of the evaluation must be filed with the clerk. The bill requires the court to consider the report when determining whether the juvenile will be committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice and to state in its order for commitment the basis for its findings.
