Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Courts must try community options first

Before a child is sent to state custody or a regional youth center, the court must make two findings. First, community programs that could meet the child’s needs do not exist or already failed. Second, the child is a public safety risk based on a risk assessment, the child’s record, and how serious the offense was. These rules apply to state detention facilities and regional treatment and rehabilitation centers.

Rights for kids in regional centers

Regional treatment and rehabilitation centers for youth are now treated as detention facilities. Staff must tell detained children their rights and give them a copy. When possible, a parent or guardian also gets a copy. The facility must post the rights inside the building.
