Bill > SB0831

This bill requires law enforcement agencies to obtain written consent from a parent or legal guardian before using any individual under the age of 18, referred to as a "minor," as a "law enforcement participant" (someone who directly helps prevent or enforce laws) or an "informant" (someone who provides information about potential law violations). This requirement does not apply to minors who are legally emancipated. If a law enforcement agency fails to get this consent, a parent or legal guardian can seek a court order to stop the agency from using the minor and can be awarded damages and attorney fees.
