What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires a law enforcement agency, prior to conducting a custodial interrogation of a juvenile, to provide notice of its intent to conduct the interrogation to the juvenile's parent, guardian, legal custodian, or Indian custodian and prohibits a law enforcement officer or agent of a law enforcement agency from commencing a custodial interrogation of a juvenile until the juvenile's parent, guardian, legal custodian, or Indian custodian has received that notice. The bill also provides that a statement made by the juvenile during a custodial interrogation is not admissible in evidence against the juvenile in any court proceeding alleging the juvenile to be delinquent unless the juvenile's parent, guardian, legal custodian, or Indian custodian received prior notice of the law enforcement agency's intent to conduct the custodial interrogation.
