Bill > HB0465

This bill modifies provisions related to juvenile courts, specifically concerning the detention of minors and the suspension of court-ordered dispositions. It allows juvenile courts to suspend a portion of a minor's detention, up to five days, or up to 30 days in certain circumstances involving prior adjudications, provided there is notice and a hearing. The bill also clarifies that a suspended disposition, generally not allowed except in specific cases, can be lifted only after adjudication of a new offense, a recommendation for higher care, or a finding of willful non-compliance with treatment, all requiring notice and a hearing. The bill takes effect on May 6, 2026.
