Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Safety checks and rights in confinement

Staff must check a confined child’s safety at least every 10 minutes. If confinement lasts over 24 hours, the child gets at least 1 hour of out‑of‑room exercise daily, with outdoor time when weather allows. The child must have the same meals, health care, contact with parents or guardians, legal help, and education as others. Staff must review the status at least once a day, consider mental‑health screening, and write why no less‑restrictive option works if it continues. No child may stay in room confinement more than 72 straight hours.

Stricter limits on youth room confinement

The law limits when staff can use room confinement for kids. It is allowed only after all less‑restrictive options are tried and only for behavior change, rule violations, or safety or security. If it lasts over 2 hours, staff must write the reason and get a supervisor’s approval. Confinement must be as short as needed, and the child returns to the group as soon as reasonable. “Corrective room restriction” includes administrative seclusion, behavioral room confinement, corrective room rest, and room confinement.

Monthly reports on youth confinement

Each local or regional youth facility must file a monthly report to the state. It lists how many children were confined and how long each case lasted. Any 72‑hour incident must explain why the child could not return to the group.
