Amends TCA Title 37.
ON MARCH 14, 2024, THE SENATE ADOPTED AMENDMENT #1 AND PASSED SENATE BILL 1578, AS AMENDED. AMENDMENT #1 rewrites the bill to revise the present law prohibiting children alleged to be unruly from being detained for more than 24 hours, excluding nonjudicial days unless there has been a detention hearing and a judicial determination that there is probable cause to believe the child has violated a valid court order, and in no event must such a child be detained for more than 72 hours exclusive of nonjudicial days prior to an adjudicatory hearing. This amendment replaces the present law and, instead, encourages the court to make reasonable efforts to ensure that a child alleged to be unruly is not detained for more than 24 hours, excluding nonjudicial days, unless there has been a detention hearing and a judicial determination that there is probable cause to believe the child has violated a valid court order. In no event must a child be detained for more than 72 hours, excluding nonjudicial days, unless there has been a detention hearing and a judicial determination that there is probable cause to believe the child has violated a valid court order.
