Last amended during 2017 session:
1280 expands the target population of community juvenile accountability programs to include referred youth and requires DSHS to report the number of referred youth receiving community accountability services by county.
HB1280 adds stop-loss protection for counties that lose more than 2 percent of their block grant per year because referred youth are added to the program and requires a minimum block grant level to be set as part of the funding formula.
The bill authorizes a police officer to arrest a youth at a domestic violence call but does not require arrest or booking of a person less than 18 years of age. Changes the filing criteria for criminal charges against a juvenile and addresses destruction of a juvenile’s criminal record if the record is limited to pre-adjudication diversion agreements, but otherwise preserves existing authority to destroy or seal records as provided by law.
