SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Truancy centers. Authorizes law-enforcement officers and attendance officers who pick up a child for truancy, after reasonably determining that the child is a public school student, to deliver the child to the appropriate public school or a truancy center. “Truancy center” means a facility or site operated by a school division, sometimes jointly with the local law-enforcement agency, and designated for receiving public school children who have been retrieved by a law-enforcement officer or attendance officer for truancy from public school. Currently, the Code only contemplates the delivery of these students to the appropriate school. Immunity from civil liability is also provided for acts or omissions relating to the pick-up and delivery of truant public school children.
