HB 1245 strengthens requirements for holding children accused of delinquency in detention before their court hearing, changing the standard so intake officers must find that parents cannot be located or are unsuitable AND that at least one serious circumstance exists (like the child being charged with a violent crime, having a record of missing court dates, or being under the influence). Previously, detention could be used more broadly; this bill limits it to cases involving specific risk factors or serious charges.
