Bill > SB190

This bill makes several changes related to juveniles: 1. It makes program administrative fees and application fees for home detention programs only apply to adult participants over 21 years old under the jurisdiction of the criminal court. 2. It requires the court to order an adult defendant, but not a minor, to pay reasonable fees for court-ordered drug and substance abuse testing. 3. It removes the $20 per month maximum on the amount the court can order the county to pay for the support and maintenance of a ward, minor person, or minor subject to probation supervision. 4. It repeals provisions making parents, guardians, and others liable for various costs related to a minor who is a ward of the juvenile court, is on probation, or is the subject of a delinquency petition or probation supervision. However, these liability provisions would still apply to a minor designated as a dual status child for dependency purposes. 5. It removes the requirement that a minor or other person request an evaluation of their ability to pay restitution for damage or loss of an electronic monitor. The summary starts with "This bill" and explains the key provisions in plain language, including clarifying important terms like "dual status child."
