An Act updating bail procedures for justice-involved youth

This bill updates the rules for releasing youth aged 12 to 18 from custody before their court appearances. It requires police to notify parents or guardians immediately upon arrest and allows bail magistrates to release older teens based on a written promise from their parents to ensure they appear in court. The legislation also sets a maximum bail fee of $40 for juveniles, prohibits charging fees for their release, and permits bail processes to be conducted virtually. Additionally, it allows bail fees to be paid through virtual or mobile payment options to increase accessibility.
