HB 711 Juvenile facilities.

Introduced by: James H. Dillard II | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Juvenile facilities. Amends provisions regarding the placement of a juvenile aged 14 or older who has committed an offense which, if committed by an adult, would be punishable by confinement in a correctional facility. Under the new provisions, a juvenile who has been adjudged a delinquent within the last 12 months may be placed in a detention home or other secure facility without being committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice; adjudication as a delinquent within the past 12 months is not required in order to be committed; the time served in detention awaiting disposition is no longer counted toward the assigned period of confinement; review hearings will no longer be mandatory but upon request; treatment will no longer be required to be provided in the community, thereby allowing treatment in the facility; and confined juveniles are allowed to earn "good time."
