The bill amends the age threshold for mandatory parent notification when a youth is arrested, changing the limit from age 19 to age 18. It also adds a new eligibility criterion requiring the youth to be currently enrolled in high school.
Scope change
The scope of the notification requirement is narrowed to apply only to youth who are under 18 years old and still attending high school, rather than all youth up to age 19.
ELIGIBILITY

The age limit for requiring police to notify parents upon arrest was reduced from 19 to 18 years old.

A new condition was added requiring the arrested youth to be currently enrolled in high school to trigger the parent notification requirement.
