AI Summary
This bill aims to protect youth during custodial interrogations. It requires that juveniles be represented by an attorney during any custodial interrogation, with the attorney present before the reading of Miranda warnings and throughout the interrogation. Additionally, the entire interrogation process, including the Miranda warnings, must be audio and video recorded, and this requirement cannot be waived by the juvenile or anyone on their behalf. The bill also specifies that the recorded interrogations are automatically discoverable and must be preserved until the criminal case is finally disposed of after appeal. These provisions are intended to safeguard the rights of juveniles during police questioning.
