Bill > H0026

This bill amends and repeals existing law to revise provisions regarding the apprehension, release, and detention of juveniles. It removes references to "habitual status offenders" and prohibits the detention of status offenders, such as those who violate curfew or are truant, in jails or juvenile detention centers. Instead, they may be placed in juvenile shelter care facilities. The bill also outlines the sentencing options available to the court, including probation, detention, and commitment to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Corrections. Additionally, it establishes a process for the collection of fines and restitution from juvenile offenders and their parents.
