Responsibility for detention costs in juvenile delinquency matters determined.
This bill clarifies which local government pays for detaining minors in state correctional facilities or approved juvenile facilities. It requires the county where a child is detained to agree to cover the costs before the child can be held at a state correctional institution. The law specifies that if a child is detained in a county other than their home county, the requesting county pays for pre-adjudication costs, while the county of financial responsibility covers care costs after a delinquency finding. These provisions update existing statutes to establish clearer financial responsibilities for juvenile detention across Minnesota counties.
