What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, within 24 hours after the end of the day on which a juvenile

is taken into custody under the Juvenile Justice Code, the juvenile court must hold

a hearing to determine whether to continue to hold the juvenile in custody. Under

current law, the 24-hour period excludes Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays.

Under this bill, a day that the clerk of court's office is closed is also excluded, if the

closure is due to inclement weather or another unforeseen emergency.
