12241224 action under this code the offense may be considered in determining the
12251225 sentence to be imposed. The petitioner, the court and all law enforcement
12261226 officers and other public offices and agencies shall properly reply on

12371237 contempt of court and punished accordingly.

17401740 (1) Community-based alternatives to detention are insufficient to:
17411741 (A) Secure the presence of the juvenile at the next hearing as
17421742 evidenced by a demonstrable record of recent failures to appear at juvenile
17431743 court proceedings and an exhaustion of detention alternatives; or
17441744 (B) protect the physical safety of another person or property from
17451745 serious threat if the juvenile is not detained; and
17461746 (2) The court shall state the basis for each finding in writing.

18901890 shall be offered the opportunity to participate in an immediate intervention
18911891 program and avoid prosecution if the juvenile is charged with a
18921892 misdemeanor that is not an offense described in article 55 of chapter 21 of
18931893 the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto, or a violation of
18941894 K.S.A. 21-5507, and amendments thereto, the juvenile has no prior
18951895 adjudications, and the offer is made pursuant to the guidelines developed
18961896 pursuant to this section. Participation in an immediate intervention
18971897 program is not required to be offered to a juvenile who was originally
18981898 charged with an offense which, if committed by an adult, would constitute
18991899 a felony and, as a result of a plea agreement reached between the juvenile
19001900 and prosecuting attorney, the charge has been amended to a misdemeanor.

19061906 county or district attorney pursuant to subsection (d).
19071907 (3) Any juvenile referred to immediate intervention by juvenile intake
19081908 and assessment services shall, upon acceptance, work together with court
19091909 services, community corrections, juvenile intake and assessment services
19101910 or any other entity designated as a part of the written agreement in
19111911 subsection (a) to develop an immediate intervention plan. Such plan may
19121912 be supervised or unsupervised by any of the aforementioned entities. The
19131913 county or district attorneys office shall not be required to supervise
19141914 juveniles participating in an immediate intervention program.
19151915 (4) The immediate intervention plan shall last no longer than six
19161916 months from the date of referral, unless the plan requires the juvenile to
19171917 complete an evidence-based mental health or substance abuse program that
19181918 extends beyond the six-month period. In such case, the plan may be
19191919 extended up to two additional months.
19201920 (5) If the juvenile satisfactorily complies with the immediate
19211921 intervention plan, such juvenile shall be discharged and the charges
19221922 dismissed at the end of the time period specified in paragraph (4).
19231923 (6) If the juvenile fails to satisfactorily comply with the immediate
19241924 intervention plan, the case shall be referred to a multidisciplinary team for
19251925 review. The multidisciplinary team created pursuant to K.S.A. 38-2393,

19731973 (7) If the juvenile fails to satisfactorily comply with the revised plan
19741974 developed pursuant to paragraph (6), the intake and assessment worker,
19751975 court services officer or community corrections officer overseeing the
19761976 immediate intervention shall refer the case to the county or district
19771977 attorney for consideration.
19781978 (c) The parent of a juvenile may be required to be a part of the
19791979 immediate intervention program.
19801980 (d) For all juveniles that have fewer than two prior adjudications, the
19811981 county or district attorney shall review the case upon receipt of a
19821982 complaint to determine if the case should be referred for immediate
19831983 intervention or whether alternative means of adjudication should be
19841984 designated pursuant to K.S.A. 38-2389, and amendments thereto. The
19851985 county or district attorney shall consider any recommendation of a juvenile
19861986 intake and assessment worker, court services officer or community
19871987 corrections officer.
19881988 (e) "Summons" means a written order issued by an intake and

19911991 pending charge.
19921992 (f) A juvenile who is eligible for an immediate intervention shall not
19931993 be denied participation in such a program or terminated unsuccessfully due
19941994 to an inability to pay fees or other associated costs. Fees assessed from
19951995 such a program shall be retained by the program and shall not be used for
19961996 any purpose, except development and operation of the program.No fees or
19971997 costs shall be imposed on a juvenile or a juvenile's parent, guardian or
19981998 custodian for participation in an immediate intervention program. A
19991999 juvenile who is otherwise eligible to participate in an immediate
20002000 intervention program shall not be denied access to such program due to
20012001 unpaid fees or costs.
20022002 (g) If a juvenile substantially complies with an immediate
20032003 intervention program, charges in such juvenile's case shall not be filed.
20042004 (h) The policies and guidelines developed pursuant to subsection (a)
20052005 shall adhere to standards and procedures for immediate intervention
20062006 developed by the department of corrections pursuant to K.S.A. 38-2395,
20072007 and amendments thereto, and be based on best practices.
20082008 (i) Nothing in this section shall require a juvenile to participate in an
20092009 immediate intervention program when the county or district attorney has

20552055 2348. (a) (1) For the purpose of this section, a person charged as a juvenile
20562056 is incompetent for adjudication as a juvenile offender if, because of mental
20572057 illness or defect, such person is unable to:
20582058 (1)(A) Understand the nature and purpose of the proceedings; or
20592059 (2)(B) make or assist in making a defense.
20602060 (2) Whenever the words "competent," "competency," "incompetent"
20612061 and "incompetency" are used without qualification in this code, such
20622062 words shall refer to the standard for incompetency described in this
20632063 subsection.
20642064 (b) (1) If at any time after such person has been charged as a juvenile
20652065 there is reason to believe that the juvenile is incompetent for adjudication
20662066 as a juvenile offender, the proceedings shall be suspended and the court
20672067 before whom the case is pending shall conduct a hearing to determine the
20682068 competency of the juvenile. Such a hearing may be held upon the motion
20692069 of the juvenile's attorney or the prosecuting attorney, or upon the court's
20702070 own motion.
20712071 (2) The court shall determine the issue of competency. To facilitate in
20722072 this determination, the court may: (A) Appoint a licensed psychiatrist or
20732073 psychologist to examine the juvenile; or (B) designate a private or public
20742074 mental health facility to conduct a psychiatric or psychological
20752075 examination and report to the court. If the examining psychiatrist,
20762076 psychologist or private or public mental health facility determines that
20772077 further examination is necessary, the court may commit the juvenile for not
20782078 more than 60 days to any appropriate public or private institution for
20792079 examination and report to the court. For good cause shown, the
20802080 commitment may be extended for another 60 days. No statement made by
20812081 the juvenile in the course of any examination provided for by this section,
20822082 whether the examination is with or without the consent of the juvenile,
20832083 shall be admitted in evidence against the juvenile in any hearing.
20842084 (3) Unless the court finds the attendance of the juvenile would be
20852085 injurious to the juvenile's health, the juvenile shall be present personally at
20862086 all proceedings under this section.
20872087 (c) If the juvenile is found to be competent, the proceedings which
20882088 have been suspended shall be resumed.
20892089 (d) If the juvenile is found to be incompetent, the juvenile shall
20902090 remain subject to the jurisdiction of the court and shall be committed for
20912091 evaluation and treatment pursuant to K.S.A. 38-2349 and 38-2350, and
20922092 amendments thereto. One or both parents of the juvenile may be ordered to
20932093 pay child support pursuant to the Kansas child support guidelines. Upon
20942094 application of the juvenile and in the discretion of the court, the juvenile
20952095 may be released to any appropriate private institution upon terms and
20962096 conditions prescribed by the court.

21412141 section, there are reasonable grounds to believe that a juvenile who has
21422142 been adjudged incompetent is now competent, the court in which the case
21432143 is pending shall conduct a hearing to determine the juvenile's present
21442144 mental condition. Reasonable notice of the hearings shall be given to the
21452145 prosecuting attorney, the juvenile and the juvenile's attorney of record, if
21462146 any. If the court, following the hearing, finds the juvenile to be competent,
21472147 the pending proceedings shall be resumed.
21482148 Sec. 18. K.S.A. 38-2360 is hereby amended to read as follows: 38-
21492149 2360. (a) At any time after the juvenile has been adjudicated to be a
21502150 juvenile offender, the court shall order one or more of the tools described
21512151 in this subsection to be submitted to assist the court unless the court finds
21522152 that adequate and current information from a risk and needs assessment is
21532153 available from a previous investigation, report or other sources:
21542154 (1) An evaluation and written report by a mental health or a qualified
21552155 professional stating the psychological or emotional development or needs
21562156 of the juvenile. The court also may order a report from any mental health
21572157 or qualified professional who has previously evaluated the juvenile stating
21582158 the psychological or emotional development needs of the juvenile. If the
21592159 court orders an evaluation as provided in this section, a parent of the
21602160 juvenile shall have the right to obtain an independent evaluation at the
21612161 expense of no cost to the parent. If the evaluation indicates that the
21622162 juvenile requires acute inpatient mental health or substance abuse
21632163 treatment, the court shall have the authority to compel an assessment by
21642164 the secretary for aging and disability services. The court may use the
21652165 results to inform a treatment and payment plan according to the same
21662166 eligibility process used for non-court-involved youth. No juvenile or
21672167 juvenile's parent, guardian or custodian shall be required to pay for

25152515 and alcohol evaluation, approved by the community-based alcohol and
25162516 drug safety action program, within 12 months before sentencing. If the
25172517 evaluation occurred more than 12 months before sentencing, the court
25182518 shall order the juvenile to resubmit to and complete the evaluation and
25192519 program as provided herein. If the court finds that the juvenile and those
25202520 legally liable for the juvenile's support are indigent, the court may waive
25212521 the fee. In no event shall The fee shall not be assessed against the secretary
25222522 of corrections or the department of corrections nor shall the fee be

25262526 the evaluation or program, including, but not limited to, any ongoing
25272527 required drug or alcohol testing, against the juvenile or the juvenile's

25902590 offender who does not have a driver's license may have driving privileges
25912591 revoked. No Kansas driver's license shall be issued to a juvenile offender
25922592 whose driving privileges have been revoked pursuant to this section for a
25932593 definite time period to be determined by the court; and
25942594 (2) in lieu of suspending a juvenile offender's driver's license or
25952595 privilege to operate a motor vehicle on the highways of this state, the court
25962596 may enter an order which places conditions on the juvenile offender's
25972597 privilege of operating a motor vehicle on the streets and highways of this
25982598 state, a certified copy of which the juvenile offender shall be required to
25992599 carry any time the juvenile offender is operating a motor vehicle on the
26002600 streets and highways of this state. The order shall prescribe a definite time
26012601 period for the conditions imposed. Upon entering an order restricting a
26022602 juvenile offender's license, the court shall require the juvenile offender to
26032603 surrender such juvenile offender's license to the court. The court shall
26042604 transmit the license to the division of vehicles, together with a copy of the
26052605 order. Upon receipt thereof, the division of vehicles shall issue without
26062606 charge a driver's license which shall indicate on its face that conditions
26072607 have been imposed on the juvenile offender's privilege of operating a
26082608 motor vehicle and that a certified copy of the order imposing the
26092609 conditions is required to be carried by the juvenile offender when
26102610 operating a motor vehicle on the streets and highways of this state. If the
26112611 juvenile offender is a nonresident, the court shall cause a copy of the order
26122612 to be transmitted to the division and the division shall forward a copy of it
26132613 to the motor vehicle administrator of the juvenile offender's state of

26572657 issuance. The court shall furnish to any juvenile offender whose driver's
26582658 license has had conditions imposed on it under this section a copy of the
26592659 order, which shall be recognized as a valid Kansas driver's license until the
26602660 division issues the restricted license provided for in this subsection. Upon
26612661 expiration of the period of time for which conditions are imposed pursuant
26622662 to this subsection, the juvenile offender may apply to the division for the
26632663 return of the license previously surrendered by the juvenile offender. In the
26642664 event the license has expired, the juvenile offender may apply to the
26652665 division for a new license, which shall be issued immediately by the
26662666 division upon payment of the proper fee and satisfaction of the other
26672667 conditions established by law unless such juvenile offender's privilege to
26682668 operate a motor vehicle on the streets and highways of this state has been
26692669 suspended or revoked prior thereto. If any juvenile offender violates any of
26702670 the conditions imposed under this subsection, the juvenile offender's
26712671 driver's license or privilege to operate a motor vehicle on the streets and
26722672 highways of this state shall be revoked for a period as determined by the
26732673 court in which the juvenile offender is convicted of violating such
26742674 conditions.
26752675 (d) The following provisions apply to the court's determination of
26762676 whether to order reparation or restitution pursuant to subsection (a)(7):
26772677 (1) The court shall order the juvenile to make reparation or restitution
26782678 to the aggrieved party for the damage or loss caused by the juvenile
26792679 offender's offense unless it finds compelling circumstances that would
26802680 render a plan of reparation or restitution unworkable. If the court finds
26812681 compelling circumstances that would render a plan of reparation or
26822682 restitution unworkable, the court shall enter such findings with
26832683 particularity on the record. In lieu of reparation or restitution, the court
26842684 may order the juvenile to perform charitable or social service for
26852685 organizations performing services for the community; and
26862686 (2) restitution may include, but shall not be limited to, the amount of
26872687 damage or loss caused by the juvenile's offense. Restitution may be made
26882688 by payment of an amount fixed by the court or by working for the parties
26892689 sustaining loss in the manner ordered by the court. An order of monetary
26902690 restitution shall be a judgment against the juvenile that may be collected
26912691 by the court by garnishment or other execution as on judgments in civil
26922692 cases. Such judgment shall not be affected by the termination of the court's
26932693 jurisdiction over the juvenile offender.
26942694 (e) If the court imposes a fine pursuant to subsection (a)(8), the
26952695 following provisions apply:
26962696 (1) The amount of the fine may not exceed $1,000 for each offense.
26972697 The amount of the fine should be related to the seriousness of the offense
26982698 and the juvenile's ability to pay. Payment of a fine may be required in a
26992699 lump sum or installments;

27422742 43 HB 2568 33
27432743 (2) in determining whether to impose a fine and the amount to be
27442744 imposed, the court shall consider that imposition of a fine is most
27452745 appropriate in cases where the juvenile has derived pecuniary gain from
27462746 the offense and that imposition of a restitution order is preferable to
27472747 imposition of a fine; and
27482748 (3) any fine imposed by court shall be a judgment against the juvenile
27492749 that may be collected by the court by garnishment or other execution as on
27502750 judgments in civil cases. Such judgment shall not be affected by the
27512751 termination of the court's jurisdiction over the juvenile.
27522752 (f) Before the court sentences a juvenile offender pursuant to
27532753 subsection (a), the court shall administer a risk assessment tool, as
27542754 described in K.S.A. 38-2360, and amendments thereto, or review a risk
27552755 assessment tool that was administered within the past six months to the
27562756 juvenile and use the results of that assessment to inform orders made
27572757 pursuant to K.S.A. 38-2369 and 38-2391, and amendments thereto.
27582758 (g)(f) If the court commits the juvenile to detention pursuant to
27592759 subsection (a)(11) (a)(9), the following provisions shall apply:
27602760 (1) The court shall only order commitment to detention upon
27612761 violation of sentencing conditions where all other alternatives have been
27622762 exhausted. The court shall not order commitment to detention for
27632763 nonpayment of any fine, fee, cost or restitution, including in cases where
27642764 nonpayment constitutes a violation of sentencing conditions.
27652765 (2) In order to commit a juvenile to detention upon violation of
27662766 sentencing conditions, the court shall find that the juvenile poses a
27672767 significant risk of harm to another or damage to property, is charged with a
27682768 new felony offense, or violates conditional release. No such finding shall
27692769 be based in whole or in part on:
27702770 (A) Nonpayment of fines, fees, costs or other financial obligations by
27712771 the juvenile or the juvenile's parent, guardian or custodian; or
27722772 (B) a juvenile's noncompliance with any sentencing condition that
27732773 would require a juvenile or a juvenile's parent, guardian or custodian to
27742774 pay money in order to comply.
27752775 (3) The court shall not order commitment to detention upon
27762776 adjudication as a juvenile offender pursuant to K.S.A. 38-2356, and
27772777 amendments thereto, for solely technical violations of probation, contempt,
27782778 a violation of a valid court order, to protect from self-harm or due to any
27792779 state or county failure to find adequate alternatives.
27802780 (4) Cumulative detention use shall be limited to a maximum of 45
27812781 days over the course of a juvenile offender's case pursuant to K.S.A. 38-
27822782 2391, and amendments thereto. The court shall review any detention
27832783 commitment every seven days and may shorten the initial commitment or
27842784 extend the commitment. In no case, however, may the term of detention or
27852785 any extension thereof exceed the cumulative detention limit of 45 days or

28312831 sentencing shall be committed to a county jail, in lieu of a juvenile
28322832 detention center, under the same time restrictions imposed by paragraph
28332833 (1), but shall not be committed to or confined in a juvenile detention
28342834 facility.
28352835 (h)(g) Any order issued by the judge pursuant to this section shall be
28362836 in effect immediately upon entry into the court's minutes.
28372837 (i)(h) In addition to the requirements of K.S.A. 38-2373, and
28382838 amendments thereto, if a person is under 18 years of age and convicted of
28392839 a felony or adjudicated as a juvenile offender for an offense if committed
28402840 by an adult would constitute the commission of a felony, the court shall
28412841 forward a signed copy of the journal entry to the secretary of corrections
28422842 within 30 days of final disposition.
28432843 (j)(i) Except as further provided, if a juvenile has been adjudged to be
28442844 a juvenile offender for an offense which, if committed by an adult would
28452845 constitute the commission of: (1) Aggravated human trafficking, as defined
28462846 in K.S.A. 21-5426(b), and amendments thereto, if the victim is less than 14
28472847 years of age; (2) rape, as defined in K.S.A. 21-5503(a)(3), and
28482848 amendments thereto; (3) aggravated indecent liberties with a child, as
28492849 defined in K.S.A. 21-5506(b)(3), and amendments thereto; (4) aggravated

28562856 solicitation, as defined in K.S.A. 21-5301, 21-5302 or 21-5303, and
28572857 amendments thereto, of an offense defined in paragraphs (1) through (6);
28582858 the court shall issue an order prohibiting the juvenile from attending the
28592859 attendance center that the victim of the offense attends. If only one
28602860 attendance center exists, for which the victim and juvenile are eligible to
28612861 attend, in the school district where the victim and the juvenile reside, the
28622862 court shall hear testimony and take evidence from the victim, the juvenile,
28632863 their families and a representative of the school district as to why the
28642864 juvenile should or should not be allowed to remain at the attendance center
28652865 attended by the victim. After such hearing, the court may issue an order
28662866 prohibiting the juvenile from attending the attendance center that the
28672867 victim of the offense attends.
28682868 (k)(j) The court may order a short-term alternative placement of a
28692869 juvenile pursuant to subsection (a)(3) in an emergency shelter, therapeutic

32593259 of conditional release, the court may enter one or more of the following
32603260 orders:
32613261 (A) Recommend additional conditions be added to those of the
32623262 existing conditional release.
32633263 (B) Order the offender to serve a period of detention pursuant to
32643264 K.S.A. 38-2361(g)(f), and amendments thereto.
32653265 (C) Revoke or restrict the juvenile's driving privileges as described in
32663266 K.S.A. 38-2361(c), and amendments thereto.
32673267 (2) Discharge the offender from the custody of the secretary of
32683268 corrections, release the secretary of corrections from further
32693269 responsibilities in the case and enter any other appropriate orders.
32703270 (c) As used in this section "adjudication" includes out-of-state
32713271 juvenile adjudications. An out-of-state offense, which if committed by an
32723272 adult would constitute the commission of a felony or misdemeanor, shall
32733273 be classified as either a felony or a misdemeanor according to the
32743274 adjudicating jurisdiction. If an offense which if committed by an adult
32753275 would constitute the commission of a felony is a felony in another state, it
32763276 will be deemed a felony in Kansas. The state of Kansas shall classify the
32773277 offense, which if committed by an adult would constitute the commission
32783278 of a felony or misdemeanor, as person or nonperson. In designating such
32793279 offense as person or nonperson, reference to comparable offenses shall be
32803280 made. If the state of Kansas does not have a comparable offense, the out-
32813281 of-state adjudication shall be classified as a nonperson offense.
32823282 (d) The secretary of corrections shall work with the community to
32833283 provide on-going support and incentives for the development of additional
32843284 evidence-based community practices and programs to ensure that the
32853285 juvenile correctional facility is not frequently utilized.
32863286 (e) There shall be a rebuttable presumption that all offenders in the
32873287 chronic offender category and offenders at least 10 years of age but less
32883288 than 14 years of age in the serious offender II or III category, shall be
32893289 placed in the custody of the secretary for placement in a youth residential
32903290 facility in lieu of placement in the juvenile correctional facility. This
32913291 presumption may be rebutted by a finding on the record that the juvenile
32923292 offender poses a significant risk of physical harm to another.
32933293 Sec. 22. K.S.A. 38-2373 is hereby amended to read as follows: 38-

34313431 custody and shall clearly define the role of each person or agency working
34323432 with the juvenile. The case plan shall include a reentry section, detailing
34333433 services, education, supervision or any other elements necessary for a
34343434 successful transition. The reentry section of the case plan shall also include
34353435 information on reintegration of the juvenile into such juvenile's family or,
34363436 if reintegration is not a viable alternative, another viable release option. If
34373437 the juvenile is to be placed on conditional release pursuant to K.S.A. 38-
34383438 2369, the case plan shall be developed with the community supervision
34393439 officer.
34403440 Sec. 23. K.S.A. 38-2384 is hereby amended to read as follows: 38-
34413441 2384. When an appeal is taken pursuant to this code, fees of an attorney
34423442 appointed to represent the juvenile offender shall be fixed by the district
34433443 court. The fees, together with the costs of transcripts and records on
34443444 appeal, shall be taxed as expenses on appeal paid from the county general
34453445 fund and shall not be subject to reimbursement by the juvenile or the
34463446 juvenile's parent, guardian or custodian. The court on appeal may assess
34473447 the fees and expenses against the appealing party or order that they be paid
34483448 from the county general fund. When the court orders the fees and expenses
34493449 assessed against the appealing party:
34503450 (a) The fees and expenses shall be paid from the county general fund,
34513451 subject to reimbursement by the appealing party; and
34523452 (b) the county may enforce the order as a civil judgment, except the
34533453 county shall not be required to pay the docket fee or fee for execution.
34543454 Sec. 24. K.S.A. 38-2389 is hereby amended to read as follows: 38-
34553455 2389. (a) Findings and purpose. The following findings and declaration of
34563456 purpose apply to this section.
34573457 (1) The legislature finds that personal and familial circumstances may
34583458 contribute to the commission of offenses by juveniles who represent a
34593459 minimal threat to public safety and that in such cases it would further the
34603460 interests of society and the juvenile to take an approach to adjudication
34613461 that combines less formal procedures, appropriate disciplinary sanctions
34623462 for misconduct and the provision of necessary services.
34633463 (2) It is the purpose of this section to provide prosecutors with an
34643464 alternative means of adjudication for juvenile offenders who present a
34653465 minimal threat to public safety and both the juvenile and society would
34663466 benefit from such approach.
34673467 (b) Designation. A county or district attorney with jurisdiction over
34683468 the offense who believes that proceedings under this section are
34693469 appropriate may, in such county or district attorney's discretion, designate
34703470 any alleged juvenile offender for adjudication under this section and not
34713471 seek application of a placement within the placement matrix pursuant to
34723472 K.S.A. 38-2369, and amendments thereto, if the alleged juvenile has fewer
34733473 than two prior adjudications.

35343534 probable cause to believe that the juvenile is a child in need of care as

35363536 the matter to the county or district attorney, who shall file a petition as

35383538 to the Kansas department for children and families for services. If the child

35403540 district attorney shall notify the court presiding over the proceedings under
35413541 this section of pertinent orders entered in the child in need of care case.
35423542 (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no juvenile shall be
35433543 committed to a juvenile correctional facility pursuant to K.S.A. 38-2361(a)
35443544 (11)(a)(10), and amendments thereto, for an offense adjudicated under this
35453545 section or for the violation of a term or condition of the disposition for
35463546 such an offense.
35473547 (3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no adjudication under
35483548 this section or violation of the terms and conditions of the disposition shall

35553555 jurisdiction, the court shall order the adjudication expunged, and the
35563556 provisions of K.S.A. 38-2312(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (i), (k) and (l), and
