AI Summary
This bill updates bail procedures for justice-involved youth. It amends the existing law to specify that when a child between 12 and 18 years old is arrested, the officer in charge must notify the child's parents or guardian, or the Department of Children and Families if the child is in their custody. The bill also allows the bail magistrate to release the child to the custody of a parent, guardian, or the Department of Children and Families, and prohibits bail fees from being charged for juveniles. Additionally, the bill provides guidelines for how bail can be administered, including in-person, by phone, or through virtual options.
