28 the release and inspection of medical or dental records.
29 (2) When the health or condition of a juvenile requires it and the

33 and furnishing of hospital, medical, surgical or dental treatment or pro-

41 ical, surgical or dental care or treatment to any juvenile after a consent
42 has been obtained as authorized by this section, shall not be liable in any
43 civil or criminal action for failure to obtain consent of a parent.
HB 2415
45
1 (4) Nothing in this section shall be construed to mean that any person
2 shall be relieved of legal responsibility to provide care and support for a
3 juvenile.

5 while the court is exercising jurisdiction over the person of a juvenile
6 under this code, that the juvenile may be a mentally ill person as defined
7 in K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 59-2946 and amendments thereto, the court may:
8 (1) Direct or authorize the county or district attorney or the person
9 supplying the information to file the petition provided for in K.S.A. 1996

11 mine the issues raised by the application as provided in the care and
12 treatment act for mentally ill persons; or
13 (2) authorize that the juvenile seek voluntary admission to a treat-
14 ment facility as provided in K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 59-2949 and amendments

17 person may be filed in the same proceedings as the petition alleging the
18 juvenile to be a juvenile offender or may be brought in separate pro-
19 ceedings. In either event, the court may enter an order staying any further
20 proceedings under this code until all proceedings have been concluded
21 under the care and treatment act for mentally ill persons.
22 Sec. 49. K.S.A. 38-1618, as amended by section 59 of chapter 229 of
23 the 1996 Session Laws of Kansas, is hereby amended to read as follows:

32 erational and functional on or before July 1, 1997.

34 justice agency shall report juvenile offender information, whether col-
35 lected manually or by means of an automated system, to the central re-
36 pository, in accordance with rules and regulations adopted pursuant to
37 this section. A juvenile justice agency shall report to the central repository
38 those reportable events involving a violation of a county resolution or city
39 ordinance only when required by rules and regulations adopted by the
40 director.
41 (c) Reporting methods may include:
42 (1) Submission of juvenile offender information by a juvenile justice

6 mation system, submission to the central repository by the agencies.

8 able events to be reported by each juvenile justice agency, in order to
9 avoid duplication in reporting.
10 (e) Juvenile offender information maintained in the juvenile offender
11 information system is confidential and shall not be disseminated or pub-
12 licly disclosed in a manner which enables identification of any individual
13 who is a subject of the information, except that the information shall be
14 open to inspection by law enforcement agencies of this state, by the de-
15 partment of social and rehabilitation services if related to an individual
16 in the secretary's custody or control, by the juvenile justice authority if
17 related to an individual in the commissioner's custody or control, by the
18 department of corrections if related to an individual in the commissioner's
19 custody or control, by the educational institution to the extent allowed
20 pursuant to law or pursuant to a court order, if related to an individual
21 that is required to attend such educational institution as part of an im-
22 mediate intervention program, probation or post-release supervision by
23 the officers of any public institution to which the individual is committed,
24 by county and district attorneys, by attorneys for the parties to a pro-
25 ceeding under this code, the intake and assessment worker or upon order
26 of a judge of the district court or an appellate court.
27 (f) Any journal entry of a trial of a juvenile adjudged to be a juvenile
28 offender shall state the number of the statute under which the juvenile
29 is adjudicated to be a juvenile offender and specify whether each offense,
30 if done by an adult, would constitute a felony or misdemeanor, as defined
31 by K.S.A. 21-3105 and amendments thereto.
32 (g) Any law enforcement agency that willfully fails to make any report
33 required by this section shall be liable to the state for the payment of a
34 civil penalty, recoverable in an action brought by the attorney general, in
35 an amount not exceeding $500 for each report not made. Any civil penalty
36 recovered under this subsection shall be paid into the state general fund.
37 (h) The director shall adopt any rules and regulations necessary to
38 implement, administer and enforce the provisions of this section.
39 (i) K.S.A. 38-1617 and amendments thereto and this section shall be
40 part of and supplemental to the Kansas juvenile justice code.
41 (j) The director shall develop incentives to encourage the timely entry
42 of juvenile offender information into the central repository.
43 Sec. 50. K.S.A. 38-1632, as amended by section 64 of chapter 229 of
HB 2415
47
1 the 1996 Session Laws of Kansas, is hereby amended to read as follows:

3 fender is taken into custody and is thereafter taken before the court or
4 to a juvenile detention facility or youth residential facility designated by
5 the court, the juvenile shall not remain detained for more than 48 hours,
6 excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, from the time the initial
7 detention was imposed, unless the court determines after hearing, within
8 the 48-hour period, that further detention is necessary.
9 (2) If a juvenile is detained in jail pursuant to subsection (b) of K.S.A.
10 38-1691 and amendments thereto, the detention hearing required by this
11 section shall be held within 24 hours after the juvenile is taken into cus-
12 tody.
13 (b) Waiver of detention hearing. The right of a juvenile to a detention
14 hearing may be waived if the juvenile and the attorney for the juvenile

17 waived, the juvenile, the attorney for the juvenile or the juvenile's parents
18 may reassert the right at any time not less than 48 hours prior to the time
19 scheduled for trial by submitting a written request to the judge. Upon

4 (Title)
5 (e) Hearing, finding, bond. At the time set for the detention hearing
6 if no retained attorney is present to represent the juvenile, the court shall
7 appoint an attorney for the juvenile, and may recess the hearing for 24
8 hours to obtain attendance of the attorney appointed unless the juvenile
9 is detained in jail pursuant to subsection (b)(1) of K.S.A. 38-1691 and
10 amendments thereto. At the detention hearing, if the court finds the
11 juvenile is dangerous to self or others, the juvenile may be detained in a
12 juvenile detention facility or youth residential facility which the court shall
13 designate. If the court finds the juvenile is not likely to appear for further
14 proceedings, the juvenile may be detained in a juvenile detention facility
15 or youth residential facility which the court shall designate or may be
16 released upon the giving of an appearance bond in an amount specified
17 by the court and on the conditions the court may impose, in accordance
18 with the applicable provisions of article 28 of chapter 22 of the Kansas
19 Statutes Annotated and amendments thereto. In the absence of either
20 finding, the court shall order the juvenile released or placed in temporary
21 custody as provided in subsection (f).
22 In determining whether to place a juvenile in a juvenile detention fa-
23 cility pursuant to this subsection, the court shall consider all relevant
24 factors, including but not limited to the criteria listed in K.S.A. 38-1640
25 and amendments thereto. If the court orders the juvenile to be detained
26 in a juvenile detention facility, the court shall record the specific findings
27 of fact upon which the order is based.
28 If detention is ordered and the parent was not notified of the hearing
29 and did not appear and later requests a rehearing, the court shall rehear
30 the matter without unnecessary delay.
31 (f) Temporary custody. If the court determines that it is not necessary
32 to detain the juvenile but finds that release to the custody of a parent is
33 not in the best interests of the juvenile, the court may place the juvenile
34 in the temporary custody of a youth residential facility, the commissioner
35 or some other suitable person willing to accept temporary custody.
36 (g) Audio-video communications. Detention hearings may be con-
37 ducted by two-way electronic audio-video communication between the
38 alleged juvenile offender and the judge in lieu of personal presence of the
39 juvenile or the juvenile's counsel in the courtroom from any location
40 within Kansas in the discretion of the court. The juvenile may be accom-
41 panied by the juvenile's counsel during such proceedings or counsel may
42 be personally present in court as long as a means of communication be-
43 tween the juvenile and the juvenile's counsel is available for consultation
HB 2415
50
1 between the juvenile and the juvenile's counsel in confidence.
2 Sec. 51. K.S.A. 38-1633, as amended by section 65 of chapter 229 of
3 the 1996 Session Laws of Kansas, is hereby amended to read as follows:
4 38-1633. (a) When the respondent appears in response to a complaint
5 without an attorney, the court shall inform the respondent of the follow-
6 ing:
7 (1) The nature of the charges in the complaint;
8 (2) the right to hire an attorney of the respondent's own choice;
9 (3) the duty of the court to appoint an attorney for the respondent if
10 no attorney is hired by the respondent or parent; and
11 (4) that the court may require the respondent or parents to pay the
12 expense of a court appointed attorney.
13 Upon request the court shall give the respondent or parent an oppor-
14 tunity to hire an attorney. If no request is made or the respondent or
15 parents are financially unable to hire an attorney, the court shall forthwith
16 appoint an attorney for the respondent. The court shall afford the re-
17 spondent an opportunity to confer with the attorney before requiring the
18 respondent to plead to the allegations of the complaint.
19 (b) When the respondent appears with an attorney in response to a
20 complaint, the court shall require the respondent to plead guilty or not
21 guilty to the allegations stated in the complaint or plead nolo contendere,
22 unless there is an application for and approval of an immediate interven-
23 tion program. Prior to making this requirement, the court shall inform
24 the respondent of the following:
25 (1) The nature of the charges in the complaint;
26 (2) the right of the respondent to be presumed innocent of each
27 charge;
28 (3) the right to trial without unnecessary delay and to confront and
29 cross-examine witnesses appearing in support of the allegations of the
30 complaint;
31 (4) the right to subpoena witnesses;
32 (5) the right of the respondent to testify or to decline to testify; and
33 (6) the sentencing alternatives the court may select as the result of
34 the juvenile being adjudged to be a juvenile offender.
35 (c) If the respondent pleads guilty to the allegations contained in a
36 complaint or pleads nolo contendere, the court shall determine, before
37 accepting the plea and entering a sentence: (1) That there has been a
38 voluntary waiver of the rights enumerated in subsections (b)(2), (3), (4)
39 and (5); and (2) that there is a factual basis for the plea.
40 (d) If the respondent pleads not guilty, the court shall schedule a time
41 and date for trial to the court.
42 (e) Pretrial hearings may be conducted by two-way electronic audio-
43 video communication between the alleged juvenile offender and the judge
HB 2415
51
1 in lieu of personal presence of the juvenile or the juvenile's counsel in the
2 courtroom from any location within Kansas in the discretion of the court.
3 The juvenile may be accompanied by the juvenile's counsel during such
4 proceedings or counsel may be personally present in court as long as a
5 means of communication between the juvenile and the juvenile's counsel
6 is available for consultation between the juvenile and the juvenile's counsel
7 in confidence.
8 Sec. 52. K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 38-1635, as amended by section 66 of
9 chapter 229 of the 1996 Session Laws of Kansas, is hereby amended to
10 read as follows: 38-1635. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), each
11 court county or district attorney may adopt a policy and establish guide-
12 lines for an immediate intervention program by which a respondent may
13 avoid prosecution as a juvenile offender. In addition to the court county
14 or district attorney adopting policies and guidelines for the immediate
15 intervention programs, the court, the county or district attorney and the
16 director of the intake and assessment center, pursuant to a written agree-
17 ment, may develop local programs to:
18 (1) Provide for the direct referral of cases by the county or district
19 attorney or the intake and assessment worker, or both, to youth courts,
20 restorative justice centers, citizen review boards, hearing officers, or other
21 local programs as sanctioned by the court.
22 (2) Allow intake and assessment workers to issue a summons, as de-
23 fined in subsection (e).
24 (3) Allow the intake and assessment centers to directly purchase serv-
25 ices for the juveniles and the juvenile's family.
26 (4) Allow intake and assessment workers to direct the release of a
27 juvenile prior to a detention hearing after the completion of the intake
28 and assessment process if the juvenile intake and assessment worker has
29 reason to believe that if released the juvenile will appear for further pro-
30 ceedings and will not be dangerous to self or others.
31 (b) An immediate intervention program shall provide that a respon-
32 dent is ineligible for such program if the respondent has been previously
33 adjudicated to be a juvenile offender, or faces pending charges as a ju-
34 venile offender, for committing acts which, if committed by an adult,
35 would constitute:
36 (1) A violation of K.S.A. 8-1567 and amendments thereto and the
37 respondent: (A) Has previously participated in an immediate intervention
38 program instead of prosecution of a complaint alleging a violation of that
39 statute or an ordinance of a city in this state which prohibits the acts
40 prohibited by that statute; (B) has previously been adjudicated of a vio-
41 lation of that statute or a violation of a law of another state or of a political
42 subdivision of this or any other state, which law prohibits the acts pro-
43 hibited by that statute; or (C) during the time of the alleged violation was
HB 2415
52
1 involved in a motor vehicle accident or collision resulting in personal
2 injury or death; or
3 (2) a violation of an off-grid crime, a person felony, or a felony or
4 misdemeanor committed when the respondent was in possession of a
5 deadly weapon.
6 (c) An immediate intervention program may include a stipulation,
7 agreed to by the respondent, the respondent's attorney and the attorney
8 general or county or district attorney, of the facts upon which the charge
9 is based and a provision that if the respondent fails to fulfill the terms of
10 the specific immediate intervention agreement and the immediate inter-
11 vention proceedings are resumed, the proceedings, including any pro-
12 ceedings on appeal, shall be conducted on the record of the stipulation
13 of facts.
14 (d) The court county or district attorney may require the parent or
15 guardian of a juvenile offender to be a part of the immediate intervention
16 program for the juvenile offender.
17 (e) ``Summons'' means a written order issued by an intake and as-
18 sessment worker directing that a respondent appear before a designated
19 court at a stated time and place and answer to a charge pending against
20 the respondent.
21 Sec. 53. K.S.A. 38-1636, as amended by section 67 of chapter 229 of
22 the 1996 Session Laws of Kansas, is hereby amended to read as follows:
23 38-1636. (a) (1) Except as provided further, at any time after commence-
24 ment of proceedings under this code against a respondent and prior to
25 entry of a sentence or the beginning of an evidentiary hearing at which
26 the court may enter a sentence as provided in K.S.A. 38-1655, and amend-
27 ments thereto, the county or district attorney may file a motion requesting
28 that the court authorize prosecution of the respondent as an adult under
29 the applicable criminal statute. The respondent shall be presumed to be
30 a juvenile unless good cause is shown to prosecute the respondent as an
31 adult.
32 (2) At any time after commencement of proceedings under this code
33 against a respondent who was: (A) 14, 15, 16 or 17 years of age at the
34 time of the offense or offenses alleged in the complaint, if any such of-
35 fense (i) if committed by an adult, would be an offgrid offense, a person
36 felony, a nondrug severity level 1 through 6 felony or any drug severity
37 level 1 or 2 felony; or (ii) was committed while in possession of a firearm;
38 or (B) charged with a felony or with more than one offense of which one
39 or more is a felony after having been adjudicated or convicted in a sep-
40 arate prior juvenile proceeding as having committed an act which would
41 constitute a felony if committed by an adult and the adjudications or
42 convictions occurred prior to the date of the commission of the new act
43 charged and prior to the entry of a sentence or the beginning of an evi-
HB 2415
53
1 dentiary hearing at which the court may enter a sentence as provided in
2 K.S.A. 38-1655, and amendments thereto, the county or district attorney
3 may file a motion requesting that the court authorize prosecution of the
4 respondent as an adult under the applicable criminal statute. The re-
5 spondent shall be presumed to be an adult. The burden of proof is on
6 the respondent to rebut the presumption.
7 (3) At any time after commencement of proceedings under this code
8 against a respondent and prior to entry of a sentence or the beginning of
9 an evidentiary hearing at which the court may enter a sentence as pro-
10 vided in K.S.A. 38-1655, and amendments thereto, the county or district
11 attorney may file a motion requesting that the court designate the pro-
12 ceedings as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution as provided fur-
13 ther. If the county or district attorney files a motion to designate the
14 proceedings as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution and the re-
15 spondent was: (A) charged with an offense (i) if committed by an adult,
16 would be an offgrid felony, a person felony, a nondrug severity level 1
17 through 6 felony or any drug severity level 1 or 2 felony; or (ii) was
18 committed while in possession of a firearm; or (B) charged with a felony
19 or with more than one offense of which one or more is a felony after
20 having been adjudicated or convicted in a separate prior juvenile pro-
21 ceeding as having committed an act which would constitute a felony is if
22 committed by an adult and the adjudications or convictions occurred prior
23 to the date of the commission of the new act charged, the burden of proof
24 is on the respondent to rebut the designation of an extended jurisdiction
25 juvenile prosecution.
26 (b) The motion may also contain a statement that the prosecuting
27 attorney will introduce evidence of the offenses alleged in the complaint
28 and request that, on hearing the motion and authorizing prosecution as
29 an adult or designating the proceedings as an extended jurisdiction ju-
30 venile prosecution under this code, the court may make the findings re-
31 quired in a preliminary examination provided for in K.S.A. 22-2902, and
32 amendments thereto, and the finding that there is no necessity for further
33 preliminary examination.
34 (c) Upon receiving a motion as established in subsection (a), the court
35 shall set a time and place for hearing on the motion. The court shall give
36 notice of the hearing to the respondent, each parent of the respondent,
37 if service is possible, and the attorney representing the respondent. The
38 motion shall be heard and determined prior to any further proceedings
39 on the complaint.
40 (d) If the respondent fails to appear for hearing on a motion as es-
41 tablished in subsection (a) after having been properly served with notice
42 of the hearing, the court may hear and determine the motion in the
43 absence of the respondent. If the court is unable to obtain service of
HB 2415
54
1 process and give notice of the hearing, the court may hear and determine
2 the motion in the absence of the respondent after having given notice of
3 the hearing once a week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper au-
4 thorized to publish legal notices in the county where the hearing will be
5 held.
6 (e) In determining whether or not prosecution as an adult should be
7 authorized or designating the proceeding as an extended jurisdiction ju-
8 venile prosecution, the court shall consider each of the following factors:
9 (1) The seriousness of the alleged offense and whether the protection of
10 the community requires prosecution as an adult or designating the pro-
11 ceeding as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution; (2) whether the
12 alleged offense was committed in an aggressive, violent, premeditated or
13 willful manner; (3) whether the offense was against a person or against
14 property, greater weight being given to offenses against persons, espe-
15 cially if personal injury resulted; (4) the number of alleged offenses un-
16 adjudicated and pending against the respondent; (5) the previous history
17 of the respondent, including whether the respondent had been adjudi-
18 cated a delinquent or miscreant under the Kansas juvenile code or a
19 juvenile offender under this code and, if so, whether the offenses were
20 against persons or property, and any other previous history of antisocial
21 behavior or patterns of physical violence; (6) the sophistication or maturity
22 of the respondent as determined by consideration of the respondent's
23 home, environment, emotional attitude, pattern of living or desire to be
24 treated as an adult; (7) whether there are facilities or programs available
25 to the court which are likely to rehabilitate the respondent prior to the
26 expiration of the court's jurisdiction under this code; and (8) whether the
27 interests of the respondent or of the community would be better served
28 by criminal prosecution or extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution. The
29 insufficiency of evidence pertaining to any one or more of the factors
30 listed in this subsection shall not in and of itself be determinative of the
31 issue. Subject to the provisions of K.S.A. 38-1653, and amendments
32 thereto, written reports and other materials relating to the respondent's
33 mental, physical, educational and social history may be considered by the
34 court.
35 (f) (1) The court may authorize prosecution as an adult upon com-
36 pletion of the hearing if the court finds that there is substantial evidence
37 that the respondent should be prosecuted as an adult for the offense with
38 which the respondent is charged. In that case, the court shall direct the
39 respondent be prosecuted under the applicable criminal statute and that
40 the proceedings filed under this code be dismissed.
41 (2) The court may designate the proceeding as an extended jurisdic-
42 tion juvenile prosecution upon completion of the hearing if the respon-
43 dent has failed to rebut the presumption or the court finds that there is
HB 2415
55
1 substantial evidence that the respondent should be prosecuted under an
2 extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution. A juvenile who is the subject
3 of an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution shall have the right to a
4 trial by jury, to the effective assistance of counsel and to all other rights
5 of a defendant pursuant to the Kansas code of criminal procedure.
6 (g) If the respondent is present in court and the court also finds from
7 the evidence that it appears a felony has been committed and that there
8 is probable cause to believe the felony has been committed by the re-
9 spondent, the court may direct that there is no necessity for further pre-
10 liminary examination on the charges as provided for in K.S.A. 22-2902,
11 and amendments thereto. In that case, the court shall order the respon-
12 dent bound over to the district judge having jurisdiction to try the case.
13 (h) If the respondent is convicted, the authorization for prosecution
14 as an adult may shall attach and apply to any future acts by the respondent
15 which are or would be cognizable under this code if the order of the court
16 so provides.
17 (i) If the respondent is prosecuted as an adult under subsection (f)(1)
18 and convicted of a lesser included offense that is not an offense listed in
19 subsection (a)(2), the respondent shall be a juvenile offender and receive
20 a sentence pursuant to K.S.A. 38-1663, and amendments thereto.
21 Sec. 54. K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 38-1640 is hereby amended to read as
22 follows: 38-1640. (a) The following are criteria for determining whether
23 to place a juvenile in a juvenile detention facility pursuant to subsection

32 nondrug severity level 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 felony or drug level 1, 2 or 3 felony
33 if committed on or after July 1, 1993, or would constitute a crime de-
34 scribed in article 35 of chapter 21 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated.
35 (3) The juvenile is awaiting court action on an offense which if com-
36 mitted by an adult would constitute a felony.
37 (4) The juvenile has a record of failure to appear in court or there is

2 being taken into custody and continued such behavior after taken into
3 custody.
4 (8) The juvenile has a record of adjudication or conviction of one or

8 (b) This section shall be part of and supplemental to the Kansas ju-
9 venile offenders justice code.
10 Sec. 55. K.S.A. 38-1661, as amended by section 79 of chapter 229 of
11 the 1996 Session Laws of Kansas, is hereby amended to read as follows:
12 38-1661. (a) Prior to a sentencing hearing, the court shall request an
13 investigation and report by a court services officer unless the court finds
14 that adequate and current information is available from a previous inves-
15 tigation, report or other sources. Upon request of the prosecuting attor-
16 ney or the attorney for the respondent, the court shall make available to
17 the attorney the report of the investigation and shall allow the attorney a
18 reasonable time to review the report before ordering the sentencing of
19 the respondent. As part of the investigation the commissioner of juvenile
20 justice shall designate a risk assessment tool to be used statewide. Such
21 assessment tool shall be utilized by the court in determining sentencing.
22 (b) The court may direct that the investigation include the circum-
23 stances of the offense; the attitude of the complainant, victim or the vic-
24 tim's family; and the record of juvenile offenses, the social history and
25 the present condition of the respondent. Except where specifically pro-
26 hibited by law, all local governmental public and private educational in-
27 stitutions and state agencies shall furnish to the officer conducting the
28 predispositional investigation the records the officer requests. If ordered
29 by the court, the predispositional investigation shall include a physical
30 examination and mental examination of the respondent if sufficient re-
31 ports are not already available to the investigating officer. Predispositional
32 investigations shall contain other information prescribed by the court.
33 (c) At any time after the respondent has been adjudicated to be a
34 juvenile offender and prior to sentencing, the judge, at the request of an
35 interested party, shall hear additional evidence as to proposals for rea-
36 sonable and appropriate sentencing of the case.
37 Sec. 56. K.S.A. 38-1662, as amended by section 80 of chapter 229 of
38 the 1996 Session Laws of Kansas, is hereby amended to read as follows:
39 38-1662. (a) Psychological or emotional. Following the juvenile being ad-
40 judged to be a juvenile offender under this code the court may order an
41 evaluation and written report of the psychological or emotional devel-
42 opment or needs of the juvenile offender. The court may refer the ju-
43 venile offender to a state institution for the evaluation if the commissioner
HB 2415
57
1 advises the court that the facility is a suitable place to care for, treat or
2 evaluate the juvenile offender and that space is available. The expenses
3 of transportation to and from the state facility may be paid as a part of
4 the expenses of the proceedings. The juvenile offender may be referred
5 to a mental health center or a qualified professional for the evaluation,
6 and the expenses of the evaluation may be considered as expenses of the
7 proceedings and assessed as provided in this code. If the court orders an
8 evaluation as provided in this section, a parent of the juvenile offender
9 shall have the right to obtain an independent evaluation at the expense
10 of the parent.
11 (b) Medical. Following the juvenile being adjudged to be a juvenile
12 offender under this code, the court may order an examination and report
13 of the medical condition and needs of the juvenile offender who is the
14 subject of the proceedings. The court may also order a report from any
15 physician who has been attending the juvenile offender stating the diag-
16 nosis, condition and treatment afforded the juvenile offender.
17 (c) Educational. The court may order the chief administrative officer
18 of the school which the juvenile offender attends or attended to provide
19 to the court information that is readily available which the school officials
20 feel would properly indicate the educational needs of the juvenile of-
21 fender. The order may direct that the school conduct an educational
22 needs assessment of the juvenile offender and send a report thereof to
23 the court. The educational needs assessment may include a meeting in-
24 volving any of the following: (1) The juvenile offender's parents, (2) the
25 juvenile offender's teacher or teachers, (3) the school psychologist, (4) a

28 foster parents or legal guardian and (8) other persons that the chief ad-
29 ministrative officer of the school, or the officer's designee, deems appro-
30 priate.
31 Sec. 57. K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 38-1663, as amended by section 81 of
32 chapter 229 of the 1996 Session Laws of Kansas, is hereby amended to
33 read as follows: 38-1663. (a) When a respondent has been adjudged to

6 (6) Commit the juvenile offender to a sanctions house for a period no
7 longer than 72 hours.
8 (7) Commit the juvenile offender, if 18 years of age or less than 23
9 years of age, to the county jail for a period no longer than seven days and
10 only when the juvenile offender has violated probation.
11 (6) (8) Commit the juvenile offender, if 13 years of age or older, to
12 a juvenile correctional facility if the juvenile offender:
13 (A) Has previously been adjudged as a juvenile offender under this
14 code or as a delinquent or miscreant under the Kansas juvenile code; or
15 (B) has been adjudicated a juvenile offender as a result of having
16 committed an act which, if done by a person 18 years of age or over,
17 would constitute a class A, B or C felony as defined by the Kansas criminal
18 code or, if done on or after July 1, 1993, would constitute an off-grid
19 crime or a nondrug crime ranked in severity level 1 through 5 or a drug
20 crime ranked in severity level 1 through 3.
21 (7) (9) Place the juvenile offender under a house arrest program ad-
22 ministered by the court pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4603b and amendments
23 thereto.
24 (b) (1) In addition to any other order authorized by this section, the
25 court may order the: (A) Juvenile offender and the parents of the juvenile
26 offender to:
27 (i) Attend counseling sessions as the court directs; or
28 (ii) participate in mediation as the court directs. Participants in such
29 mediation may include, but shall not be limited to, the victim, the juvenile
30 offender and the juvenile offender's parents. Mediation shall not be man-
31 datory for the victim;
32 (B) parents of the juvenile offender to participate in parenting classes;
33 or
34 (C) juvenile offender to successfully participate in a program of ed-
35 ucation offered by a local board of education including placement in an
36 alternative educational program approved by a local board of education.
37 (2) Upon entering an order requiring a juvenile offender's parent to
38 attend counseling sessions or mediation, the court shall give the parent
39 notice of the order. The notice shall inform the parent of the parent's
40 right to request a hearing within 10 days after entry of the order and the
41 parent's right to employ an attorney to represent the parent at the hearing
42 or, if the parent is financially unable to employ an attorney, the parent's
43 right to request the court to appoint an attorney to represent the parent.
HB 2415
59
1 If the parent does not request a hearing within 10 days after entry of the
2 order, the order shall take effect at that time. If the parent requests a
3 hearing, the court shall set the matter for hearing and, if requested, shall
4 appoint an attorney to represent the parent. The expense and fees of the
5 appointed attorney may be allowed and assessed as provided by K.S.A.
6 38-1606 and amendments thereto.
7 (3) The costs of any counseling or mediation may be assessed as ex-
8 penses in the case. No mental health center shall charge a fee for court-
9 ordered counseling greater than that the center would have charged the
10 person receiving the counseling if the person had requested counseling
11 on the person's own initiative. No mediator shall charge a fee for court-
12 ordered mediation greater than that the mediator would have charged
13 the person participating in the mediation if the person had requested
14 mediation on the person's own initiative.
15 (c) (1) If a respondent has been adjudged to be a juvenile offender,
16 the court, in addition to any other order authorized by this section, may
17 suspend the juvenile offender's driver's license or privilege to operate a
18 motor vehicle on the streets and highways of this state. The duration of
19 the suspension ordered by the court shall be for a definite time period to
20 be determined by the court. Upon suspension of a license pursuant to
21 this subsection, the court shall require the juvenile offender to surrender
22 the license to the court, which shall transmit the license to the division
23 of motor vehicles of the department of revenue, to be retained until the
24 period of suspension expires. At that time, the licensee may apply to the
25 division for return of the license. If the license has expired, the juvenile
26 offender may apply for a new license, which shall be issued promptly
27 upon payment of the proper fee and satisfaction of other conditions es-
28 tablished by law for obtaining a license unless another suspension or rev-
29 ocation of the juvenile offender's privilege to operate a motor vehicle is
30 in effect. As used in this subsection, ``highway'' and ``street'' have the
31 meanings provided by K.S.A. 8-1424 and 8-1473, and amendments
32 thereto. Any respondent who is adjudged to be a juvenile offender who
33 does not have a driver's license may have such juvenile offender's driving
34 privileges revoked. No Kansas driver's license shall be issued to a juvenile
35 offender whose driving privileges have been revoked pursuant to this
36 section for a definite time period to be determined by the court.
37 (2) In lieu of suspending the driver's license or privilege to operate
38 a motor vehicle on the highways of this state of any respondent adjudged
39 to be a juvenile offender, as provided in subsection (c)(1), the court in
40 which such juvenile offender was adjudged to be a juvenile offender may
41 enter an order which places conditions on such juvenile offender's priv-
42 ilege of operating a motor vehicle on the highways of this state, a certified
43 copy of which such juvenile offender shall be required to carry any time
HB 2415
60
1 such juvenile offender is operating a motor vehicle on the highways of
2 this state. Any such order shall prescribe the duration of the conditions
3 imposed and shall specify that such duration shall be for a definite time
4 period to be determined by the court. Upon entering an order restricting
5 a juvenile offender's license hereunder, the court shall require such ju-
6 venile offender to surrender such juvenile offender's driver's license to
7 the court who shall cause it to be transmitted to the division of vehicles,
8 together with a copy of the order. Upon receipt thereof, the division of
9 vehicles shall issue without charge a driver's license which shall indicate
10 on its face that conditions have been imposed on such juvenile offender's
11 privilege of operating a motor vehicle and that a certified copy of the
12 order imposing such conditions is required to be carried by the juvenile
13 offender for whom the license was issued any time such juvenile offender
14 is operating a motor vehicle on the highways of this state. If the juvenile
15 offender convicted is a nonresident, the court shall cause a copy of the
16 order to be transmitted to the division and the division shall forward a
17 copy of it to the motor vehicle administrator of such juvenile offender's
18 state of residence. Such court shall furnish to any juvenile offender whose
19 driver's license has had conditions imposed on it under this section a copy
20 of the order, which shall be recognized as a valid Kansas driver's license
21 until such time as the division shall issue the restricted license provided
22 for in this subsection. Upon expiration of the period of time for which
23 conditions are imposed pursuant to this subsection, the licensee may ap-
24 ply to the division for the return of the license previously surrendered by
25 such licensee. In the event such license has expired, such juvenile of-
26 fender may apply to the division for a new license, which shall be issued
27 immediately by the division upon payment of the proper fee and satis-
28 faction of the other conditions established by law, unless such juvenile
29 offender's privilege to operate a motor vehicle on the highways of this
30 state has been suspended or revoked prior thereto. If any juvenile of-
31 fender shall violate any of the conditions imposed under this subsection,
32 such juvenile offender's driver's license or privilege to operate a motor
33 vehicle on the highways of this state shall be revoked for a period as
34 determined by the court in which such juvenile offender is convicted of
35 violating such conditions.
36 (d) Whenever a juvenile offender is placed pursuant to subsection
37 (a)(1) or (2), the court, unless it finds compelling circumstances which
38 would render a plan of restitution unworkable, shall order the juvenile
39 offender to make restitution to persons who sustained loss by reason of
40 the offense. The restitution shall be made either by payment of an amount
41 fixed by the court or by working for the persons in order to compensate
42 for the loss. If the court finds compelling circumstances which would
43 render a plan of restitution unworkable, the court may order the juvenile
HB 2415
61
1 offender to perform charitable or social service for organizations perform-
2 ing services for the community.
3 Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to limit a court's authority
4 to order a juvenile offender to make restitution or perform charitable or
5 social service under circumstances other than those specified by this sub-
6 section or when placement is made pursuant to subsection (a)(3) or (4).
7 (e) In addition to or in lieu of any other order authorized by this
8 section, the court may order a juvenile offender to pay a fine not exceed-
9 ing $250 for each offense. In determining whether to impose a fine and
10 the amount to be imposed, the court shall consider the following:
11 (1) Imposition of a fine is most appropriate in cases where the juve-
12 nile offender has derived pecuniary gain from the offense.
13 (2) The amount of the fine should be directly related to the serious-
14 ness of the juvenile offender's offense and the juvenile offender's ability
15 to pay.
16 (3) Payment of a fine may be required in a lump sum or installments.
17 (4) Imposition of a restitution order is preferable to imposition of a
18 fine.
19 (5) The juvenile offender's duty of payment should be limited in du-
20 ration and in no event should the time necessary for payment exceed the
21 maximum term which would be authorized if the offense had been com-
22 mitted by an adult.
23 (f) In addition to or in lieu of any other order authorized by this
24 section, if a juvenile is adjudged to be a juvenile offender by reason of a
25 violation of the uniform controlled substances act (K.S.A. 65-4101 et seq.
26 and amendments thereto) or K.S.A. 41-719, 41-727, 65-4152, 65-4153,
27 65-4154 or 65-4155 or K.S.A. 1995 1996 Supp. 8-1599, and amendments
28 thereto, the court shall order the juvenile offender to submit to and com-
29 plete an alcohol and drug evaluation by a community-based alcohol and
30 drug safety action program certified pursuant to K.S.A. 8-1008 and
31 amendments thereto and to pay a fee not to exceed the fee established
32 by that statute for such evaluation, except that such evaluation may be
33 waived by the court if the court finds that the juvenile offender has suc-
34 cessfully completed an alcohol and drug evaluation, approved by the com-
35 munity-based alcohol and drug safety action program, within 12 months
36 of the offender's arrest on this offense. If such evaluation occurred more
37 than 12 months after the offender's arrest on this offense, the court shall
38 order the juvenile offender to resubmit to and complete such evaluation
39 and program as provided herein. If the court finds that the juvenile of-
40 fender and those legally liable for the offender's support are indigent, the
41 fee may be waived. In no event shall the fee be assessed against the
42 commissioner or the juvenile justice authority. The court may require the
43 parent or guardian of the juvenile offender to attend such program with
HB 2415
62
1 the juvenile offender.
2 (g) The board of county commissioners of a county may provide by
3 resolution that the parents or guardians of any juvenile offender placed
4 under a house arrest program pursuant to subsection (a)(7) shall be re-
5 quired to pay to the county the cost of such house arrest program. The
6 board of county commissioners shall further prepare a sliding financial
7 scale based on the ability of the parents to pay for such a program.
8 (h) In addition to any other order authorized by this section, if child
9 support has been requested and the parent or parents have a duty to
10 support the respondent the court may, and when custody is placed with
11 the commissioner shall, order one or both parents to pay child support.
12 The court shall determine, for each parent separately, whether the parent
13 is already subject to an order to pay support for the respondent. If the
14 parent is not presently ordered to pay support for the respondent and
15 the court has personal jurisdiction over the parent, the court shall order
16 the parent to pay child support in an amount determined under K.S.A.
17 38-16,117 and amendments thereto. Except for good cause shown, the
18 court shall issue an immediate income withholding order pursuant to
19 K.S.A. 23-4,105 et seq. and amendments thereto for each parent ordered
20 to pay support under this subsection, regardless of whether a payor has
21 been identified for the parent. A parent ordered to pay child support
22 under this subsection shall be notified, at the hearing or otherwise, that
23 the child support order may be registered pursuant to K.S.A. 38-16,119
24 and amendments thereto. The parent shall also be informed that, after
25 registration, the income withholding order may be served on the parent's
26 employer without further notice to the parent and the child support order
27 may be enforced by any method allowed by law. Failure to provide this
28 notice shall not affect the validity of the child support order.
29 (i) Any order issued by the judge pursuant to this section shall be in
30 effect immediately upon entry into the judge's minutes.
31 Sec. 58. On and after July 1, 1999, K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 38-1663, as
32 amended by section 57 of this bill, is hereby amended to read as follows:
33 38-1663. (a) When a respondent has been adjudged to be a juvenile of-
34 fender, the judge may select from the following alternatives:
35 (1) Place the juvenile offender on probation for a fixed period, subject
36 to the terms and conditions the court deems appropriate based on the
37 juvenile justice programs in the community, including a requirement of
38 making restitution as required by subsection (d).
39 (2) Place the juvenile offender in the custody of a parent or other
40 suitable person, subject to the terms and conditions the court orders
41 based on the juvenile justice programs in the community, including a
42 requirement of making restitution as required by subsection (d).
43 (3) Place the juvenile offender in the custody of a youth residential
HB 2415
63
1 facility, subject to the terms and conditions the court orders.
2 (4) Place the juvenile offender in the custody of the commissioner.
3 (5) Impose any appropriate combination of subsections (a)(1) and (2),
4 subsection (a)(3) or subsection (a)(4) and make other orders directed to
5 the juvenile offender as the court deems appropriate.
6 (6) Commit the juvenile offender to a sanctions house for a period
7 no longer than 72 hours.
8 (7) Commit the juvenile offender, if 18 years of age or less than 23
9 years of age, to the county jail for a period no longer than seven days and
10 only when the juvenile offender has violated probation.
11 (8) Commit the juvenile offender, if 13 years of age or older, to a
12 juvenile correctional facility if the juvenile offender:
13 (A) Has previously been adjudged as a juvenile offender under this
14 code; or
15 (B) has been adjudicated a juvenile offender as a result of having
16 committed an act which, if done by a person 18 years of age or over,
17 would constitute a class A, B or C felony as defined by the Kansas criminal
18 code or, if done on or after July 1, 1993, would constitute an off-grid
19 crime or a nondrug crime ranked in severity level 1 through 5 or a drug
20 crime ranked in severity level 1 through 3 as provided by the placement
21 matrix established in section 24, and amendments thereto.
22 (9) Place the juvenile offender under a house arrest program admin-
23 istered by the court pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4603b and amendments
24 thereto.
25 (b) (1) In addition to any other order authorized by this section, the
26 court may order the: (A) Juvenile offender and the parents of the juvenile
27 offender to:
28 (i) Attend counseling sessions as the court directs; or
29 (ii) participate in mediation as the court directs. Participants in such
30 mediation may include, but shall not be limited to, the victim, the juvenile
31 offender and the juvenile offender's parents. Mediation shall not be man-
32 datory for the victim;
33 (B) parents of the juvenile offender to participate in parenting classes;
34 or
35 (C) juvenile offender to successfully participate in a program of ed-
36 ucation offered by a local board of education including placement in an
37 alternative educational program approved by a local board of education.
38 (2) Upon entering an order requiring a juvenile offender's parent to
39 attend counseling sessions or mediation, the court shall give the parent
40 notice of the order. The notice shall inform the parent of the parent's
41 right to request a hearing within 10 days after entry of the order and the
42 parent's right to employ an attorney to represent the parent at the hearing
43 or, if the parent is financially unable to employ an attorney, the parent's
HB 2415
64
1 right to request the court to appoint an attorney to represent the parent.
2 If the parent does not request a hearing within 10 days after entry of the
3 order, the order shall take effect at that time. If the parent requests a
4 hearing, the court shall set the matter for hearing and, if requested, shall
5 appoint an attorney to represent the parent. The expense and fees of the
6 appointed attorney may be allowed and assessed as provided by K.S.A.
7 38-1606 and amendments thereto.
8 (3) The costs of any counseling or mediation may be assessed as ex-
9 penses in the case. No mental health center shall charge a fee for court-
10 ordered counseling greater than that the center would have charged the
11 person receiving the counseling if the person had requested counseling
12 on the person's own initiative. No mediator shall charge a fee for court-
13 ordered mediation greater than that the mediator would have charged
14 the person participating in the mediation if the person had requested
15 mediation on the person's own initiative.
16 (c) (1) If a respondent has been adjudged to be a juvenile offender,
17 the court, in addition to any other order authorized by this section, may
18 suspend the juvenile offender's driver's license or privilege to operate a
19 motor vehicle on the streets and highways of this state. The duration of
20 the suspension ordered by the court shall be for a definite time period to
21 be determined by the court. Upon suspension of a license pursuant to
22 this subsection, the court shall require the juvenile offender to surrender
23 the license to the court, which shall transmit the license to the division
24 of motor vehicles of the department of revenue, to be retained until the
25 period of suspension expires. At that time, the licensee may apply to the
26 division for return of the license. If the license has expired, the juvenile
27 offender may apply for a new license, which shall be issued promptly
28 upon payment of the proper fee and satisfaction of other conditions es-
29 tablished by law for obtaining a license unless another suspension or rev-
30 ocation of the juvenile offender's privilege to operate a motor vehicle is
31 in effect. As used in this subsection, ``highway'' and ``street'' have the
32 meanings provided by K.S.A. 8-1424 and 8-1473, and amendments
33 thereto. Any respondent who is adjudged to be a juvenile offender who
34 does not have a driver's license may have such juvenile offender's driving
35 privileges revoked. No Kansas driver's license shall be issued to a juvenile
36 offender whose driving privileges have been revoked pursuant to this
37 section for a definite time period to be determined by the court.
38 (2) In lieu of suspending the driver's license or privilege to operate
39 a motor vehicle on the highways of this state of any respondent adjudged
40 to be a juvenile offender, as provided in subsection (c)(1), the court in
41 which such juvenile offender was adjudged to be a juvenile offender may
42 enter an order which places conditions on such juvenile offender's priv-
43 ilege of operating a motor vehicle on the highways of this state, a certified
HB 2415
65
1 copy of which such juvenile offender shall be required to carry any time
2 such juvenile offender is operating a motor vehicle on the highways of
3 this state. Any such order shall prescribe the duration of the conditions
4 imposed and shall specify that such duration shall be for a definite time
5 period to be determined by the court. Upon entering an order restricting
6 a juvenile offender's license hereunder, the court shall require such ju-
7 venile offender to surrender such juvenile offender's driver's license to
8 the court who shall cause it to be transmitted to the division of vehicles,
9 together with a copy of the order. Upon receipt thereof, the division of
10 vehicles shall issue without charge a driver's license which shall indicate
11 on its face that conditions have been imposed on such juvenile offender's
12 privilege of operating a motor vehicle and that a certified copy of the
13 order imposing such conditions is required to be carried by the juvenile
14 offender for whom the license was issued any time such juvenile offender
15 is operating a motor vehicle on the highways of this state. If the juvenile
16 offender convicted is a nonresident, the court shall cause a copy of the
17 order to be transmitted to the division and the division shall forward a
18 copy of it to the motor vehicle administrator of such juvenile offender's
19 state of residence. Such court shall furnish to any juvenile offender whose
20 driver's license has had conditions imposed on it under this section a copy
21 of the order, which shall be recognized as a valid Kansas driver's license
22 until such time as the division shall issue the restricted license provided
23 for in this subsection. Upon expiration of the period of time for which
24 conditions are imposed pursuant to this subsection, the licensee may ap-
25 ply to the division for the return of the license previously surrendered by
26 such licensee. In the event such license has expired, such juvenile of-
27 fender may apply to the division for a new license, which shall be issued
28 immediately by the division upon payment of the proper fee and satis-
29 faction of the other conditions established by law, unless such juvenile
30 offender's privilege to operate a motor vehicle on the highways of this
31 state has been suspended or revoked prior thereto. If any juvenile of-
32 fender shall violate any of the conditions imposed under this subsection,
33 such juvenile offender's driver's license or privilege to operate a motor
34 vehicle on the highways of this state shall be revoked for a period as
35 determined by the court in which such juvenile offender is convicted of
36 violating such conditions.
37 (d) Whenever a juvenile offender is placed pursuant to subsection
38 (a)(1) or (2), the court, unless it finds compelling circumstances which
39 would render a plan of restitution unworkable, shall order the juvenile
40 offender to make restitution to persons who sustained loss by reason of
41 the offense. The restitution shall be made either by payment of an amount
42 fixed by the court or by working for the persons in order to compensate
43 for the loss. If the court finds compelling circumstances which would
HB 2415
66
1 render a plan of restitution unworkable, the court may order the juvenile
2 offender to perform charitable or social service for organizations perform-
3 ing services for the community.
4 Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to limit a court's authority
5 to order a juvenile offender to make restitution or perform charitable or
6 social service under circumstances other than those specified by this sub-
7 section or when placement is made pursuant to subsection (a)(3) or (4).
8 (e) In addition to or in lieu of any other order authorized by this
9 section, the court may order a juvenile offender to pay a fine not exceed-
10 ing $250 for each offense. In determining whether to impose a fine and
11 the amount to be imposed, the court shall consider the following:
12 (1) Imposition of a fine is most appropriate in cases where the juve-
13 nile offender has derived pecuniary gain from the offense.
14 (2) The amount of the fine should be directly related to the serious-
15 ness of the juvenile offender's offense and the juvenile offender's ability
16 to pay.
17 (3) Payment of a fine may be required in a lump sum or installments.
18 (4) Imposition of a restitution order is preferable to imposition of a
19 fine.
20 (5) The juvenile offender's duty of payment should be limited in du-
21 ration and in no event should the time necessary for payment exceed the
22 maximum term which would be authorized if the offense had been com-
23 mitted by an adult.
24 (f) In addition to or in lieu of any other order authorized by this
25 section, if a juvenile is adjudged to be a juvenile offender by reason of a
26 violation of the uniform controlled substances act (K.S.A. 65-4101 et seq.
27 and amendments thereto) or K.S.A. 41-719, 41-727, 65-4152, 65-4153,
28 65-4154 or 65-4155 or K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 8-1599, and amendments
29 thereto, the court shall order the juvenile offender to submit to and com-
30 plete an alcohol and drug evaluation by a community-based alcohol and
31 drug safety action program certified pursuant to K.S.A. 8-1008 and
32 amendments thereto and to pay a fee not to exceed the fee established
33 by that statute for such evaluation, except that such evaluation may be
34 waived by the court if the court finds that the juvenile offender has suc-
35 cessfully completed an alcohol and drug evaluation, approved by the com-
36 munity-based alcohol and drug safety action program, within 12 months
37 of the offender's arrest on this offense. If such evaluation occurred more
38 than 12 months after the offender's arrest on this offense, the court shall
39 order the juvenile offender to resubmit to and complete such evaluation
40 and program as provided herein. If the court finds that the juvenile of-
41 fender and those legally liable for the offender's support are indigent, the
42 fee may be waived. In no event shall the fee be assessed against the
43 commissioner or the juvenile justice authority. The court may require the
HB 2415
67
1 parent or guardian of the juvenile offender to attend such program with
2 the juvenile offender.
3 (g) The board of county commissioners of a county may provide by
4 resolution that the parents or guardians of any juvenile offender placed
5 under a house arrest program pursuant to subsection (a)(7) shall be re-
6 quired to pay to the county the cost of such house arrest program. The
7 board of county commissioners shall further prepare a sliding financial
8 scale based on the ability of the parents to pay for such a program.
9 (h) In addition to any other order authorized by this section, if child
10 support has been requested and the parent or parents have a duty to
11 support the respondent the court may, and when custody is placed with
12 the commissioner shall, order one or both parents to pay child support.
13 The court shall determine, for each parent separately, whether the parent
14 is already subject to an order to pay support for the respondent. If the
15 parent is not presently ordered to pay support for the respondent and
16 the court has personal jurisdiction over the parent, the court shall order
17 the parent to pay child support in an amount determined under K.S.A.
18 38-16,117 and amendments thereto. Except for good cause shown, the
19 court shall issue an immediate income withholding order pursuant to
20 K.S.A. 23-4,105 et seq. and amendments thereto for each parent ordered
21 to pay support under this subsection, regardless of whether a payor has
22 been identified for the parent. A parent ordered to pay child support
23 under this subsection shall be notified, at the hearing or otherwise, that
24 the child support order may be registered pursuant to K.S.A. 38-16,119
25 and amendments thereto. The parent shall also be informed that, after
26 registration, the income withholding order may be served on the parent's
27 employer without further notice to the parent and the child support order
28 may be enforced by any method allowed by law. Failure to provide this
29 notice shall not affect the validity of the child support order.
30 (i) Any order issued by the judge pursuant to this section shall be in
31 effect immediately upon entry into the judge's minutes.
32 Sec. 59. K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 38-1668, as amended by section 85 of
33 chapter 229 of the 1996 Session Laws of Kansas, is hereby amended to
34 read as follows: 38-1668. (a) A parent, guardian or person with whom a
35 juvenile resides may be ordered by the court to report any probation
36 violations or conditional release contract violations, aid in enforcing terms
37 and conditions of probation or conditional release or other orders of the
38 court or any of the above. Any person placed under an order to report
39 any probation violations or conditional release contract violations, aid in
40 enforcing terms and conditions of probation or conditional release or
41 other orders of the court or any of the above who fails to do so may be
42 proceeded against for indirect contempt of court as provided in K.S.A.
43 20-1204a et seq., and amendments thereto.
HB 2415
68
1 (b) This section shall be part of and supplemental to the Kansas ju-
2 venile justice code.
3 Sec. 60. K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 38-1671, as amended by section 86 of
4 chapter 229 of the 1996 Session Laws of Kansas, is hereby amended to
5 read as follows: 38-1671. (a) Actions by the court. (1) When a juvenile
6 offender has been committed to a juvenile correctional facility, the clerk
7 of the court shall forthwith notify the commissioner of the commitment
8 and provide the commissioner with a certified copy of the complaint, the
9 journal entry of the trial and the sentence. The court shall also forward
10 those items from the social file which could relate to a rehabilitative pro-
11 gram. If the court wishes to recommend placement of the juvenile of-
12 fender in a specific juvenile correctional facility, the recommendation
13 shall be included in the sentence. After the court has received notice of
14 the juvenile correctional facility designated as provided in subsection (b),
15 it shall be the duty of the court or the sheriff of the county to deliver the
16 juvenile offender to the facility at the time designated by the commis-
17 sioner.
18 (2) When a juvenile offender is residing in a juvenile correctional
19 facility and is required to go back to court for any reason, the county
20 demanding the juvenile's presence shall be responsible for transportation,
21 detention, custody and control of such offender. In these cases, the county
22 sheriff shall be responsible for all transportation, detention, custody and
23 control of such offender.
24 (b) Actions by the commissioner. (1) After receiving notice of com-
25 mitment as provided in subsection (a), the commissioner shall give the
26 committing court notice designating the juvenile correctional facility to
27 which the juvenile offender is to be admitted and the date of the admis-
28 sion.
29 (2) Except as provided by K.S.A. 38-1691, and amendments thereto,
30 the commissioner may make any temporary out-of-home placement the
31 commissioner deems appropriate pending placement of the juvenile of-
32 fender in a juvenile correctional facility, and the commissioner shall notify
33 the court, local law enforcement agency and school district in which the
34 juvenile will be residing if the juvenile is still required to attend a sec-
35 ondary school of that placement.
36 (c) Transfers. During the time a juvenile offender remains committed
37 to a juvenile correctional facility, the commissioner may transfer the ju-
38 venile offender from one juvenile correctional facility to another.
39 Sec. 61. K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 38-1673, as amended by section 88 of
40 chapter 229 of the 1996 Session Laws of Kansas, is hereby amended to
41 read as follows: 38-1673. (a) When a juvenile offender has satisfactorily
42 completed the program such offender's term of incarceration at the ju-
43 venile correctional facility to which the juvenile offender was committed
HB 2415
69
1 or placed, the person in charge of the juvenile correctional facility shall
2 have authority to release the juvenile offender under appropriate condi-
3 tions and for a specified period of time.
4 (b) At least 15 days prior to releasing a juvenile offender as provided
5 in subsection (a), the person in charge of the juvenile correctional facility
6 shall notify the committing court of the date and conditions upon which
7 it is proposed the juvenile offender is to be released.
8 (c) Upon receipt of the notice required by subsection (b), the court
9 shall review the proposed conditions of release and may recommend
10 modifications or additions to the conditions.
11 (d) If, during the conditional release, the juvenile offender is not re-
12 turning to the county from which committed, the person in charge of the
13 juvenile correctional facility shall also give notice to the court of the
14 county in which the juvenile offender is to be residing.
15 (e) To assure compliance with conditions of release from a juvenile
16 correctional facility, the commissioner shall have the authority to pre-
17 scribe the manner in which compliance with the conditions shall be su-
18 pervised. When requested by the commissioner, the appropriate court
19 may assist in supervising compliance with the conditions of release during
20 the term of the conditional release. The commissioner may require the
21 parents or guardians of the juvenile offender to cooperate and participate
22 with the conditions of release.
23 (f) The juvenile justice authority shall notify at least 45 days prior to
24 the discharge of the juvenile offender the county or district attorney of
25 the county where the offender was adjudicated a juvenile offender of the
26 release of such juvenile offender, if such juvenile offender's offense would
27 have constituted a class A, B or C felony before July 1, 1993, or an off-
28 grid felony, a nondrug crime ranked at severity level 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 or a
29 drug crime ranked at severity level 1, 2 or 3, on or after July 1, 1993, if
30 committed by an adult. The county or district attorney shall give written
31 notice at least 30 days prior to the release of the juvenile offender to: (1)

33 is known to the court or, if the victim is deceased, to the victim's family
34 if the family's address is known to the court; (2) the local law enforcement
35 agency; and (3) the school district in which the juvenile offender will be
36 residing if the juvenile is still required to attend a secondary school. Fail-
37 ure to notify pursuant to this section shall not be a reason to postpone a
38 release. Nothing in this section shall create a cause of action against the
39 state or county or an employee of the state or county acting within the
40 scope of the employee's employment as a result of the failure to notify

19 been involved, the judge shall inform the person or the parent or legal
