Official description
Juvenile and domestic relations district courts; delinquent juveniles; mental health or disability evaluations. Provides that if a juvenile and domestic relations district court finds a juvenile to be delinquent, the court may, before final disposition of the case, direct the appropriate public agency to evaluate such juvenile's mental health or disability needs using an interdisciplinary team approach. The bill requires that any report be filed with the clerk of court and copies provided to all attorneys representing parties in the matter no later than 72 hours prior to the hearing set by the court. The bill permits the juvenile and domestic relations district court, in the alternative, to consider an existing report from an interdisciplinary team if such interdisciplinary team met not more than 90 days prior to the finding that the juvenile is delinquent.
