A bill for an act relating to parent, legal guardian, and legal custodian attendance in court-ordered classes due to the actions of the parent’s, legal guardian’s, or legal custodian’s child, and providing penalties.

HF 2127 requires a child's parent, legal guardian, or legal custodian to attend court-ordered classes with the child when the child is adjudicated for a delinquent act and ordered to attend such classes. For children with three or more delinquent adjudications, the court must mandate a separate "parental responsibility class." Failure to attend results in penalties: a first offense is a simple misdemeanor (up to 10 days jail or $100 fine), escalating to serious misdemeanors for repeat offenses. Parents may avoid penalties by filing an affidavit proving a good-faith effort to comply, and the requirement does not apply to parents without physical care of the child or non-individual guardians.
