What’s in it
AI summary If a child enters an informal agreement to resolve a case involving domestic or sexual abuse, the court cannot force their parents or guardians to pay for the child's batterers' treatment program. Additionally, the county must pay for juvenile court expenses instead of ordering parents to cover the costs of a child's care, treatment, or legal fees.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to expenses incurred in relation to certain legal matters concerning a child under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. The bill prohibits a court from assessing fees for participation in a batterers’ treatment program against a child’s parent, guardian, or custodian if that child voluntarily participates in a batterers’ treatment program pursuant to the disposition of a complaint against a child who enters into an informal adjustment for a delinquent act which would constitute domestic or sexual abuse or domestic abuse assault if committed by an adult. The bill makes a county responsible for juvenile court expenses relating to a child if the juvenile court proceedings took place in that county and prohibits a court from ordering a parent to pay all or part of the costs of the care, examination, treatment, legal expenses, or other expenses for a child subject to juvenile court proceedings.
