AI Summary
This bill prohibits the holding of a child awaiting trial who is treated as an adult for criminal prosecution in a jail or other facility intended or used for the detention of adults, with an exception if the court determines it is in the interest of justice to allow the child to be held in such a facility. If the court makes that determination, it must hold a hearing every 30 (or 45 in rural jurisdictions) days to review whether it is still in the interest of justice, and the child may not be held in an adult facility for more than 180 days unless the court grants an extension or the child waives that limitation. The bill also provides specific requirements for separating and supervising any child who is held in an adult facility.
