SB 1009: Juveniles: detention.

This bill amends existing laws regarding the detention of juveniles. A court must order the release of a minor from custody unless it finds clear and convincing evidence that the minor has violated an order, escaped from commitment, or poses an immediate threat to their own safety or that of others. The court must consider less restrictive alternatives to detention and provide services to help the minor's parent or guardian care for them in the home. The court can only order detention if a less restrictive alternative is deemed unsuitable. The bill also prohibits removing a minor from their parent's or guardian's custody unless the court finds clear and convincing evidence that a less restrictive alternative is not possible.
