Amends TCA Title 37 and Title 39.

ON MARCH 4, 2024, THE HOUSE ADOPTED AMENDMENT #1 AND PASSED HOUSE BILL 2126, AS AMENDED.<br /> <br /> AMENDMENT #1 adds to the bill by revising present law that provides that when a child transferred from juvenile court is detained, the juvenile court may, in its discretion, order confinement in a local juvenile detention facility, or a juvenile detention facility with which it contracts or an adult detention facility separate and removed from adult detainees. This amendment revises the present law by, instead, requiring that when a child transferred from juvenile court is detained, the juvenile court must order confinement in a local juvenile detention facility or a juvenile detention facility with which it contracts, except that the juvenile court may order confinement in an adult detention facility separate and removed from adult detainees if the sheriff affirms to the court that the adult detention facility has the ability to comply with the requirements of existing law, and that the population of the adult detention facility does not exceed the capacity of the facility. <br />
