Interim study on the use of shackling on juveniles

This legislative resolution directs the Judiciary Committee to conduct an interim study on the use of shackling on juveniles in Nebraska. The study will examine when shackling should be allowed or prohibited, how to draft clear rules for agencies and staff, and what other states have done regarding juvenile restraint policies. The committee will report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature after completing the review. This measure focuses on gathering information rather than enacting immediate changes to current practices.
