Concerning juvenile access to attorneys when contacted by law enforcement.

HB 1920 requires law enforcement in Washington to provide juveniles (under 18) with immediate access to an attorney before questioning or during specific interactions, including custodial interrogations, detentions based on probable cause, or requests for consent to searches. This applies to all law enforcement officers, including school resource officers, and ensures juveniles cannot waive their right to counsel without legal consultation. The bill prohibits using statements obtained without attorney access in court, except in limited exemptions like imminent life threats or trafficking victim situations. It also mandates that any assertion of rights through an attorney must be treated as coming directly from the juvenile. The law aims to protect minors' constitutional rights during police contact by making attorney access mandatory before rights can be waived.
