Prohibiting the use of any prone restraint on a juvenile who is in custody at a juvenile detention facility or juvenile correctional facility or being assessed as part of the juvenile intake and assessment system.

HB 2227 prohibits the use of prone restraints (holding a juvenile face-down) on juveniles in custody at juvenile detention or correctional facilities, or during the juvenile intake and assessment process. The bill amends Kansas' juvenile justice code to explicitly ban this practice for all personnel in these settings. This law directly affects juveniles under state custody and those undergoing initial assessments in the juvenile justice system. The prohibition applies immediately to all relevant facilities and staff under the state's juvenile justice code.
