HB 260 Closed circuit testimony.

Introduced by: R. Creigh Deeds | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Closed circuit testimony. Allows closed circuit testimony for juveniles twelve or under in a hearing on a preliminary removal order. Procedures governing the order allowing this type of testimony and the use of the testimony are the same as authorized under current law in civil and criminal abuse cases, except that the request for an order authorizing this procedure may be made up to 48 hours before the hearing or later for cause. Current law requires a request to be made seven days prior to a hearing but the removal hearing must be held within five business days of an emergency removal.

This bill is recommended by the Commission on Youth.
