What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill prohibits a municipal court or court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under the Juvenile Justice Code (juvenile court) from ordering the use of electronic monitoring for children in truancy cases. Under current law, a municipality may adopt an ordinance that prohibits a child from being absent from school without an acceptable excuse for part or all of any day (truancy) or for part or all of five or more days (habitual truancy) on which school is held during a school semester and from dropping out of school. Current law prescribes the dispositional orders that may be authorized under these ordinances and the sanctions that a court may impose for a violation of a court order. This bill prohibits a municipality from authorizing the use of electronic monitoring of a child as a disposition for a truancy, habitual truancy, or dropout case and prohibits a court from imposing electronic monitoring as a part of a disposition or sanction in a truancy, habitual truancy, or dropout case.
