Description
Commitment of juvenile to Department of Juvenile Justice; consideration of social history. Requires a judge to review and take into consideration the results of an investigation of the social history of a juvenile before ordering the juvenile to be committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice for placement in a juvenile correctional center. Under current law, the investigation may be completed up to 15 days after the juvenile is committed to the Department. The bill provides that circuit court judges are not required to review a social history prior to sentencing or commitment. The bill also requires the Department of Juvenile Justice to develop a model social history and guidelines to be used by court services units when preparing a social history and to report its progress to the Commission on Youth by the 2015 Regular Session of the General Assembly. The bill has a delayed effective date of October 1, 2014, for the provisions related to the court's review of a social history prior to commitment. Read the Bill »
