This final fiscal note reflects the revised version of the bill. This bill was not enacted
into law; therefore, the impacts identified in this analysis do not take effect.
Summary of Legislation
By February 28, 2023, the bill requires law enforcement agencies that use or might use any juvenile
custodial interrogation procedure to adopt written policies and procedures that are consistent with
the juvenile custodial interrogation procedures of the International Association of Chiefs of Police or
other nationally recognized peer-reviewed research. Specifically, the policies must include
requirements for:
age-appropriate Miranda warnings administered prior to custodial interrogation;
electronic recording of all juvenile custodial interrogations; and
tailored questions for the age, sophistication, maturity, level of education, mental ability, and
other pertinent information of the juvenile.
Background
House Bill 16-1117 required a peace officer investigating an alleged class 1 or 2 felony or a felony
sexual assault to electronically record an interrogation occurring in a detention facility.
