SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Juvenile alleged to be truant; development of truancy plan. Provides that in cases in which a school attendance officer files a complaint alleging that a juvenile is a truant and the juvenile has not previously been proceeded against informally or adjudicated in need of supervision for failure to comply with compulsory school attendance laws, the intake officer may defer filing of a petition alleging that the child is in need of supervision for 90 days and proceed informally by implementing a truancy plan developed by a school-based multidisciplinary team, a locally based multidisciplinary team, the appropriate public agency, or an interagency interdisciplinary team. The provisions of this act shall not become effective unless reenacted by the 2014 Session of the General Assembly.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Juvenile alleged to be truant; development of truancy plan. Provides that in cases in which a school attendance officer files a complaint alleging that a juvenile is a truant and the juvenile has not previously been proceeded against informally or adjudicated in need of supervision for failure to comply with compulsory school attendance laws, the intake officer shall defer filing of a petition alleging that the child is in need of supervision for 90 days and shall refer the child to the family assessment and planning team for development of a truancy plan. If the juvenile or his parent, guardian, or other person standing in loco parentis refuses to participate in the truancy plan, or if at the end of the 90-day period the child has failed to comply with the truancy plan, the intake officer shall file a petition alleging that the child is in need of supervision.
