Bill > LR246

This resolution directs the Judiciary Committee of the Nebraska Legislature to conduct an interim study focusing on the use of juvenile restrictive housing and room confinement in the state. An interim study is a legislative research process that occurs between regular legislative sessions, allowing lawmakers to investigate and gather information on specific issues. In this case, the study aims to examine how juveniles are placed in restricted or confined settings, likely within detention or correctional facilities. The resolution mandates that after completing the study, the Judiciary Committee must prepare a comprehensive report detailing their findings and recommendations, which will be submitted to either the Legislative Council or the full Legislature. This type of study is typically designed to inform potential future legislation or policy changes related to juvenile detention practices.
