What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a court assigned jurisdiction under the Juvenile Justice Code may permit any party to participate in a plea hearing by telephone or live audiovisual means except for a juvenile who intends to admit the facts of a delinquency petition. This bill eliminates that exception.
The bill also specifies that proceedings under the Juvenile Justice Code may be conducted by telephone or live audiovisual means unless good cause to the contrary is shown, and that any action taken by the court or any party in such a proceeding has the same effect as if made in open court.
