Bill > HB33

This bill establishes a five-year juvenile intervention pilot program in up to five counties in Alabama with high juvenile delinquency rates. The program requires law enforcement to contact a juvenile probation officer when a child is suspected of committing a non-violent offense. If the probation officer, with the juvenile court's approval, detains the child, the child must be held at a juvenile detention facility for a minimum of two hours. During or within 30 days of release, the child and a parent/guardian must complete a two-hour intervention class conducted by the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency and pass a test. Failure to comply can result in the filing of a delinquency petition or the child and parent/guardian being held in contempt of court. The Department of Youth Services must report annually on the program's outcomes.
