HB 1106: Truancy/detention

Eliminating use of detention for violation of a truancy-related court order while providing more opportunities for truant youth to access services and treatment.

Summary

  • Removes the statutory authority of the court to order detention for noncompliance with a truancy-related court order, effective July 1, 2020, and:
  • provides, until that date, that detention may be no longer than two days; and
  • provides, after that date, that a court may order the Department of Children, Youth, and Families to complete a family assessment and recommend that an At-Risk Youth petition be filed.
  • Encourages juvenile courts to use distributions received for truancy petitions to engage in collaborative efforts with schools and community truancy boards (CTBs) aimed at improving attendance through case management and intervention, and the provision of supports and services.
  • Provides that, subject to appropriations to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for grant funds to CTBs, 25 percent of the funds may be allocated for training of CTB members and 75 percent for the provision of services and treatment to children and their families.
