What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
