1995 SESSION
HB 1789 Juvenile detention.
Introduced by: Clifton A. Woodrum | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Juvenile detention. Allows a court to commit a juvenile who is 14 or older to a secure detention facility provided certain conditions are met. Under current law, only juveniles 16 or older may be held in secure detention if those same conditions are met. The age of 14 corresponds to the age at which serious juvenile offenders may be subject to trial as adults under changes made to the transfer statute in 1994.
