Lawmakers passed a bill April 23 relating to the treatment of juveniles charged with certain crimes. <\/p>\n
Under LB482, introduced by Omaha Sen. Bob Krist, juveniles charged with running away or being uncontrollable or truant could not be fingerprinted or placed in a juvenile detention facility or out-of-home care unless certain factors exist. County attorneys must make reasonable efforts to refer juveniles and family to community-based resources.<\/p>\n
The measure prohibits juveniles from being restrained during court proceedings, unless certain conditions exist, and outlines the conditions necessary for restraints to be used on a juvenile appearing in court. These include situations in which a juvenile presents a substantial risk of flight from the courtroom or has a history of disruptive courtroom behavior that has placed others in potentially harmful positions.<\/p>\n
