House Roll Call 560: Passed

To revise details of the procedures and facilities used to hold a juvenile who violates a court order establishing the terms of his or her release for a “status offense.” The Senate Fiscal Agency says the bill is needed to comply with federal law that restricts placement of "nondelinquent" juvenile status offenses (such as running away from home, truancy, parental disobedience) into secure facilities without a valid court order.
