Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the family court act and the criminal procedure law, in relation to the custodial interrogation of juveniles by law enforcement
AI Summary
This bill strengthens protections for children during police interrogations and when they are taken into custody by requiring law enforcement officers to make every reasonable effort to notify a parent or legal guardian before transporting a child to a police station, and mandates that children aged sixteen and seventeen, as well as juveniles, must consult with an attorney, either in person, by phone, or video conference, before any questioning can occur, with this consultation being non-waivable, and also requires that all interrogations of juveniles at designated facilities be video recorded and that any statements made by a child who has not consulted with an attorney or whose parent/guardian has not been properly advised and waived rights will be suppressed in court.
