AB60,1,3 1An Act to create 118.163 (3m), 938.342 (3) and 938.355 (6m) (ac) of the statutes;
2relating to: prohibiting the use of electronic monitoring for juveniles in
3truancy cases.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill prohibits a municipal court or court assigned to exercise jurisdiction
under the Juvenile Justice Code (juvenile court) from ordering the use of electronic
monitoring for children in truancy cases. Under current law, a municipality may
adopt an ordinance that prohibits a child from being absent from school without an
acceptable excuse for part or all of any day (truancy) or for part or all of five or more
days (habitual truancy) on which school is held during a school semester and from
dropping out of school. Current law prescribes the dispositional orders that may be
authorized under these ordinances and the sanctions that a court may impose for a
violation of a court order. This bill prohibits a municipality from authorizing the use
of electronic monitoring of a child as a disposition for a truancy, habitual truancy, or
dropout case and prohibits a court from imposing electronic monitoring as a part of
a disposition or sanction in a truancy, habitual truancy, or dropout case.
