  4 12 under section 232.44, the amount of bail, appearance bond, or

  4 15 detention or that the child should not be released from
  4 16 detention.

  4 19 juvenile court services personnel.
  4 20    c.  An order under this section may be reviewed by the
  4 21 court upon motion of either party.
  4 22    Sec. 7.  Section 232.28, subsection 10, Code 1997, is
  4 23 amended to read as follows:
  4 24    10.  A complaint filed with the court or its designee

  4 26 committed a delinquent act which if committed by an adult
  4 27 would be an aggravated misdemeanor or a felony shall be a
  4 28 public offense is a public record and shall not be
  4 29 confidential under section 232.147.  The court, its designee,
  4 30 or law enforcement officials are authorized to release the
  4 31 complaint, including the identity of the child named in the
  4 32 complaint.
  4 33    Sec. 8.  Section 232.44, Code 1997, is amended to read as
  4 34 follows:
  4 35    232.44  DETENTION OR SHELTER CARE HEARING – RELEASE FROM
  5  1 DETENTION UPON CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCE.
  5  2    1.  A hearing shall be held within forty-eight hours,
  5  3 excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, of the time
  5  4 of the child's admission to a shelter care facility, and
  5  5 within twenty-four hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and
  5  6 legal holidays, of the time of a child's admission to a
  5  7 detention facility.  If the hearing is not held within the
  5  8 time specified, the child shall be released from shelter care
  5  9 or detention.  Prior to the hearing a petition shall be filed,
  5 10 except where the child is already under the supervision of a
  5 11 juvenile court under a prior judgment.
  5 12    If the child is placed in a detention facility in a county
  5 13 other than the county in which the child resides or in which
  5 14 the delinquent act allegedly occurred but which is within the
  5 15 same judicial district, the hearing may take place in the
  5 16 county in which the detention facility is located.  The child
  5 17 shall appear in person at the hearing required by this
  5 18 subsection.
  5 19    2.  The county attorney or a juvenile court officer may
  5 20 apply for a hearing at any time after the petition is filed to
  5 21 determine whether the child who is the subject of the petition
  5 22 should be placed in detention or shelter care.  The court may
  5 23 upon the application or upon its own motion order such
  5 24 hearing.  The court shall order a detention hearing for a
  5 25 child waived under section 232.45, subsection 6A, at the time
  5 26 of waiver.
  5 27    3.  A notice shall be served upon the child, the child's
  5 28 attorney, the child's guardian ad litem if any, and the
  5 29 child's known parent, guardian, or custodian not less than
  5 30 twelve hours before the time the hearing is scheduled to begin
  5 31 and in a manner calculated fairly to apprise the parties of
  5 32 the time, place, and purpose of the hearing.  In the case of a
  5 33 hearing for a child waived for prosecution as a youthful
  5 34 offender, this notice may accompany the waiver order.  If the
  5 35 court finds that there has been reasonably diligent effort to
  6  1 give notice to a parent, guardian, or custodian and that the
  6  2 effort has been unavailing, the hearing may proceed without
  6  3 the notice having been served.
  6  4    4.  At the hearing to determine whether detention or
  6  5 shelter care is authorized under section 232.21 or 232.22 the
  6  6 court shall admit only testimony and other evidence relevant
  6  7 to the determination of whether there is probable cause to
  6  8 believe the child has committed the act as alleged in the
  6  9 petition and to the determination of whether the placement of
  6 10 the child in detention or shelter care is authorized under
  6 11 section 232.21 or 232.22.  At the hearing to determine whether
  6 12 a child who has been waived for prosecution as a youthful
  6 13 offender should be released from detention the court shall
  6 14 also admit evidence of the kind admissible to determine bond
  6 15 or bail under chapter 811, notwithstanding section 811.1.  Any
  6 16 written reports or records made available to the court at the
  6 17 hearing shall be made available to the parties.  A copy of the
  6 18 petition or waiver order shall be given to each of the parties
  6 19 at or before the hearing.
  6 20    5.  The court shall find release to be proper under the
  6 21 following circumstances:
  6 22    a.  If the court finds that there is not probable cause to
  6 23 believe that the child is a child within the jurisdiction of
  6 24 the court under this chapter, it shall release the child and
  6 25 dismiss the petition.
  6 26    b.  If the court finds that detention or shelter care is
  6 27 not authorized under section 232.21 or 232.22, or is
  6 28 authorized but not warranted in a particular case, the court
  6 29 shall order the child's release, and in so doing, may impose
  6 30 one or more of the following conditions:
  6 31    (1)  Place the child in the custody of a parent, guardian
  6 32 or custodian under that person's supervision, or under the
  6 33 supervision of an organization which agrees to supervise the
  6 34 child.
  6 35    (2)  Place restrictions on the child's travel, association,
  7  1 or place of residence during the period of release.
  7  2    (3)  Impose any other condition deemed reasonably necessary
  7  3 and consistent with the grounds for detaining children
  7  4 specified in section 232.21 or 232.22, including a condition
  7  5 requiring that the child return to custody as required.
  7  6    (4)  In the case of a child waived for prosecution as a
  7  7 youthful offender, require bail, an appearance bond, or set
  7  8 other conditions consistent with this section or section
  7  9 811.2.
  7 10    c.  An order releasing a child on conditions specified in
  7 11 this section may be amended at any time to impose equally or
  7 12 less restrictive conditions.  The order may be amended to
  7 13 impose additional or more restrictive conditions, or to revoke
  7 14 the release, if the child has failed to conform to the
  7 15 conditions originally imposed.
  7 16    6.  If the court finds that there is probable cause to
  7 17 believe that the child is within the jurisdiction of the court
  7 18 under this chapter and that full-time detention or shelter
  7 19 care is authorized under section 232.21 or 232.22 or that
  7 20 detention is authorized under section 232.23, it may issue an
  7 21 order authorizing either shelter care or detention until the
  7 22 adjudicatory hearing or trial is held or for a period not
  7 23 exceeding seven days, whichever is shorter.  However, in the
  7 24 case of a child placed in detention under section 232.23, this
  7 25 period may be extended by agreement of the parties and the
  7 26 court.
  7 27    7.  If a child held in shelter care or detention by court
  7 28 order has not been released after a detention hearing or has
  7 29 not appeared at an adjudicatory hearing before the expiration
  7 30 of the order of detention, an additional hearing shall
  7 31 automatically be scheduled for the next court day following
  7 32 the expiration of the order.  The child, the child's counsel,
  7 33 the child's guardian ad litem, and the child's parent,
  7 34 guardian or custodian shall be notified of this hearing not
  7 35 less than twenty-four hours before the hearing is scheduled to
  8  1 take place.  The hearing required by this subsection may be
  8  2 held by telephone conference call.
  8  3    8.  A child held in a detention or shelter care facility
  8  4 pursuant to section 232.21 or 232.22 under order of court
  8  5 after a hearing may be released upon a showing that a change
  8  6 of circumstances makes continued detention unnecessary.
  8  7    9.  A written request for the release of the child, setting
  8  8 forth the changed circumstances, may be filed by the child, by
  8  9 a responsible adult on the child's behalf, by the child's
  8 10 custodian, or by the juvenile court officer.
  8 11    10.  Based upon the facts stated in the request for release
  8 12 the court may grant or deny the request without a hearing, or
  8 13 may order that a hearing be held at a date, time and place
  8 14 determined by the court.  Notice of the hearing shall be given
  8 15 to the child and the child's custodian or counsel.  Upon
  8 16 receiving evidence at the hearing, the court may release the
  8 17 child to the child's custodian or other suitable person, or
  8 18 may deny the request and remand the child to the detention or
  8 19 shelter care facility.
  8 20    11.  This section does not apply to a child placed in
  8 21 accordance with section 232.78, 232.79, or 232.95.
  8 22    Sec. 9.  Section 232.45, subsection 1, Code 1997, is
  8 23 amended to read as follows:
  8 24    1.  After the filing of a petition which alleges that a
  8 25 child has committed a delinquent act on the basis of an
  8 26 alleged commission of a public offense and before an
  8 27 adjudicatory hearing on the merits of the petition is held,
  8 28 the county attorney or the child may file a motion requesting
  8 29 the court to waive its jurisdiction over the child for the
  8 30 alleged commission of the public offense.  If the county
  8 31 attorney and the child agree, a motion for waiver for the
  8 32 purpose of being prosecuted as a youthful offender may be
  8 33 heard by the court which will have jurisdiction over the
  8 34 criminal proceedings involving the child.
  8 35    Sec. 10.  Section 232.45, Code 1997, is amended by adding
  9  1 the following new subsection:
  9  2    NEW SUBSECTION.  6A.  At the conclusion of the waiver
  9  3 hearing and after considering the best interests of the child
  9  4 and the best interests of the community the court may, in
  9  5 order that the child may be prosecuted as a youthful offender,
  9  6 waive its jurisdiction over the child if all of the following
  9  7 apply:
  9  8    a.  The child is fifteen years of age or younger.
  9  9    b.  The court determines, or has previously determined in a
  9 10 detention hearing under section 232.44, that there is probable
  9 11 cause to believe that the child has committed a delinquent act
  9 12 which would constitute a public offense under section 232.8,
  9 13 subsection 1, paragraph "c", notwithstanding the application
  9 14 of that paragraph to children aged sixteen or older.
  9 15    c.  The court determines that the state has established
  9 16 that there are not reasonable prospects for rehabilitating the
  9 17 child, prior to the child's eighteenth birthday, if the
  9 18 juvenile court retains jurisdiction over the child and the
  9 19 child enters into a plea agreement, is a party to a consent
  9 20 decree, or is adjudicated to have committed the delinquent
  9 21 act.
  9 22    The court shall retain jurisdiction over the child for the
  9 23 purpose of determining whether the child should be released
  9 24 from detention under section 232.23.
  9 25    Sec. 11.  Section 232.45, Code 1997, is amended by adding
  9 26 the following new subsection:
  9 27    NEW SUBSECTION.  7A.  In making the determination required
  9 28 by subsection 6A, paragraph "c", the factors which the court

  9 30    a.  The nature of the alleged delinquent act and the
  9 31 circumstances under which it was committed.
  9 32    b.  The nature and extent of the child's prior contacts
  9 33 with juvenile authorities, including past efforts of such
  9 34 authorities to treat and rehabilitate the child and the
  9 35 response to such efforts.
 10  1    c.  The age of the child, the programs, facilities, and
 10  2 personnel available to the juvenile court for rehabilitation
 10  3 and treatment of the child, and the programs, facilities, and
 10  4 personnel which would be available to the district court after
 10  5 the child reaches the age of eighteen in the event the child
 10  6 is given youthful offender status.
 10  7    Sec. 12.  Section 232.45, subsection 10, Code 1997, is
 10  8 amended to read as follows:
 10  9    10.  If the court waives its jurisdiction over the child
 10 10 for the alleged commission of the public offense so that the
 10 11 child may be prosecuted as an adult or a youthful offender,
 10 12 the judge who made the waiver decision shall not preside at
 10 13 any subsequent proceedings in connection with that prosecution
 10 14 if the child objects.
 10 15    Sec. 13.  Section 232.45A, Code 1997, is amended by adding
 10 16 the following new subsection:
 10 17    NEW SUBSECTION.  4.  This section shall not apply to a
 10 18 child who was waived to the district court for the purpose of
 10 19 being prosecuted as a youthful offender.

 10 21 amended to read as follows:
 10 22    1.  As soon as practicable following the entry of an order
 10 23 of adjudication pursuant to section 232.47 or notification
 10 24 that the child has received a youthful offender deferred
 10 25 sentence pursuant to section 907.3A, the court shall hold a
 10 26 dispositional hearing in order to determine what disposition
 10 27 should be made of the matter.
 10 28    Sec. 15.  Section 232.52, subsection 1, Code 1997, is
 10 29 amended to read as follows:
 10 30    1.  Pursuant to a hearing as provided in section 232.50,
 10 31 the court shall enter the least restrictive dispositional
 10 32 order appropriate in view of the seriousness of the delinquent
 10 33 act, the child's culpability as indicated by the circumstances
 10 34 of the particular case, the age of the child, and the child's
 10 35 prior record, or the fact that the child has received a
 11  1 youthful offender deferred sentence under section 907.3A.  The
 11  2 order shall specify the duration and the nature of the
 11  3 disposition, including the type of residence or confinement
 11  4 ordered and the individual, agency, department or facility in
 11  5 whom custody is vested.  In the case of a child who has
 11  6 received a youthful offender deferred sentence, the initial
 11  7 duration of the dispositional order shall be until the child
 11  8 reaches the age of eighteen.
 11  9    Sec. 16.  Section 232.54, Code 1997, is amended by adding
 11 10 the following new subsections:
 11 11    NEW SUBSECTION.  7.  With respect to a juvenile court
 11 12 dispositional order entered regarding a child who has received

 11 14 the dispositional order may be terminated prior to the child
 11 15 reaching the age of eighteen upon motion of the child, the
 11 16 person or agency to whom custody of the child has been
 11 17 transferred, or the county attorney following a hearing before
 11 18 the juvenile court if it is shown by clear and convincing
 11 19 evidence that it is in the best interests of the child and the
 11 20 community to terminate the order.  The district court shall
 11 21 discharge the child's youthful offender status upon receiving
 11 22 a termination order under this section.
 11 23    NEW SUBSECTION.  8.  With respect to a dispositional order
 11 24 entered regarding a child who has received a youthful offender
 11 25 deferred sentence under section 907.3A, the juvenile court
 11 26 may, in the case of a child who violates the terms of the

 12  1 over, terminate the order and return the child to the
 12  2 supervision of the district court under chapter 907.
 12  3    b.  The juvenile court shall only terminate an order under
 12  4 this subsection if after considering the best interests of the
 12  5 child and the best interests of the community the court finds
 12  6 that the child should be returned to the supervision of the

 16 27 firearm or offensive weapon is guilty of a class "D" felony.
 16 28    Sec. 29.  Section 805.8, subsection 10, paragraph a, Code
 16 29 1997, is amended to read as follows:
 16 30    a.  For violations of section 123.47A, which constitute

 17 16    Sec. 32.  Section 808A.2, subsection 1, Code 1997, is
 17 17 amended by striking the subsection and inserting in lieu
 17 18 thereof the following:
 17 19    1.  The board of directors of each public school district
 17 20 and the authorities in charge of each nonpublic school shall
 17 21 adopt a student search rule.  The student search rule shall be
 17 22 published in each district's and each nonpublic school's
 17 23 student handbook.  A school official may search individual
 17 24 students and individual protected student areas in either of
 17 25 the following situations:
 17 26    a.  If the official has reasonable grounds for suspecting
 17 27 that the search will produce evidence that a student has

 17 29 regulation.
 17 30    b.  School officials may search more than one student or
 17 31 protected student area pursuant to a student search rule.  A
 17 32 student search rule allowing searches of more than one student
 17 33 or protected student area must be reasonably based on
 17 34 balancing the need for the search against any intrusion of a
 17 35 protected student area.  Any search conducted pursuant to this
 18  1 paragraph must be conducted in a manner reasonably related to
 18  2 the circumstances which justified the search.
 18  3    Sec. 33.  Section 808A.2, subsection 2, Code 1997, is
 18  4 amended to read as follows:
 18  5    2.  Notwithstanding subsection 1, paragraphs "a" through
 18  6 "c", as they apply to searches of protected student areas,
 18  7 school School officials may conduct periodic inspections of
 18  8 all, or a randomly selected number of, school lockers, desks,
 18  9 or other facilities.  The furnishing of a school locker, desk,
 18 10 or other facility or space owned by the school and provided as
 18 11 a courtesy to a student shall not create a protected student
 18 12 area, and shall not give rise to an expectation of privacy on
 18 13 a student's part with respect to that locker, desk, facility,
 18 14 or space.  However, the school district shall provide written
 18 15 notice to each student, and the adult who enrolls the student
 18 16 at the school, and the student's parent, guardian, or legal
 18 17 custodian, that school officials may conduct periodic
 18 18 inspections of all school lockers, desks, facilities, or
 18 19 spaces without prior notice.  An inspection under this
 18 20 subsection shall only occur in the presence of the students
 18 21 whose lockers are being inspected.
 18 22    Sec. 34.  Section 808A.2, subsection 5, Code 1997, is
 18 23 amended by striking the subsection.
 18 24    Sec. 35.  NEW SECTION.  907.3A  YOUTHFUL OFFENDER DEFERRED
 18 25 SENTENCE – YOUTHFUL OFFENDER STATUS.
 18 26    1.  Notwithstanding section 907.3, the trial court shall,
 18 27 upon a plea of guilty or a verdict of guilty, defer sentence
 18 28 of a youthful offender over whom the juvenile court has waived
 18 29 jurisdiction pursuant to section 232.45, subsection 6A, and
 18 30 place the juvenile on youthful offender status.  The court
 18 31 shall transfer supervision of the youthful offender to the
 18 32 juvenile court for disposition in accordance with section
 18 33 232.52.  The court shall require supervision of the youthful
 18 34 offender in accordance with section 232.54, subsection 8 or
 18 35 subsection 2, of this section.
 19  1    2.  The court shall hold a hearing prior to a youthful
 19  2 offender's eighteenth birthday to determine whether the
 19  3 youthful offender shall continue on youthful offender status
 19  4 after the youthful offender's eighteenth birthday under the
 19  5 supervision of the court or be discharged.  The court shall
 19  6 review the report of the juvenile court regarding the youthful
 19  7 offender and shall hear evidence by or on behalf of the
 19  8 youthful offender, by the county attorney, and by the person
 19  9 or agency to whom custody of the youthful offender was
 19 10 transferred.  The court shall make its decision after
 19 11 considering the services available to the youthful offender,
 19 12 the evidence presented, the juvenile court's report, the
 19 13 interests of the youthful offender, and interests of the
 19 14 community.
 19 15    3.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Code which
 19 16 prescribes a mandatory minimum sentence for the offense
 19 17 committed by the youthful offender, following transfer of the
 19 18 youthful offender from the juvenile court back to the court
 19 19 having jurisdiction over the criminal proceedings involving
 19 20 the youthful offender, the court may continue the youthful
 19 21 offender deferred sentence or enter a sentence, which may be a
 19 22 suspended sentence.  However, a youthful offender shall not be
 19 23 placed on probation for longer than five years.  During the
 19 24 period of probation, a youthful offender who violates the
 19 25 terms of probation is subject to section 908.11.
 19 26    Sec. 36.  Section 908.11, Code 1997, is amended to read as
 19 27 follows:
 19 28    908.11  VIOLATION OF PROBATION.
 19 29    A probation officer or the judicial district department of
 19 30 correctional services having probable cause to believe that
 19 31 any person released on probation has violated the conditions
 19 32 of probation shall proceed by arrest or summons as in the case
 19 33 of a parole violation.  The functions of the liaison officer
 19 34 and the board of parole shall be performed by the judge or
 19 35 magistrate who placed the alleged violator on probation if
 20  1 that judge or magistrate is available, otherwise by another
 20  2 judge or magistrate who would have had jurisdiction to try the
 20  3 original offense.  If the probation officer proceeds by
 20  4 arrest, any magistrate may receive the complaint, issue an
 20  5 arrest warrant, or conduct the initial appearance and probable
 20  6 cause hearing if it is not convenient for the judge who placed
 20  7 the alleged violator on probation to do so.  The initial
 20  8 appearance, probable cause hearing, and probation revocation
 20  9 hearing, or any of them, may at the discretion of the court be
 20 10 merged into a single hearing when it appears that the alleged
 20 11 violator will not be prejudiced thereby.  If the violation is
 20 12 established, the court may continue the probation or youthful
 20 13 offender status with or without an alteration of the
 20 14 conditions of probation or a youthful offender status.  If the
 20 15 defendant is an adult or a youthful offender the court may
 20 16 hold the defendant in contempt of court and sentence the
 20 17 defendant to a jail term while continuing the probation or
 20 18 youthful offender status, order the defendant to be placed in
 20 19 a violator facility established pursuant to section 904.207
 20 20 while continuing the probation or youthful offender status, or
 20 21 revoke the probation or youthful offender status and require
 20 22 the defendant to serve the sentence imposed or any lesser
 20 23 sentence, and, if imposition of sentence was deferred, may
 20 24 impose any sentence which might originally have been imposed.  
 20 25                           EXPLANATION
 20 26    This bill makes a variety of changes that relate to illegal
 20 27 conduct by juveniles and youthful offenders, including
 20 28 violations of alcohol regulations, the sharing of information
 20 29 regarding delinquent juveniles and juveniles under the
 20 30 jurisdiction of various social services agencies, the sharing
 20 31 of jurisdiction between the adult and juvenile courts for
 20 32 certain youthful offenders, and the authorization of school
 20 33 officials to conduct searches of students and their lockers
 20 34 and to report possession or use of alcohol or controlled
 20 35 substances to law enforcement authorities.
 21  1    Code sections 123.47A and 805.8 are amended to make all
 21  2 purchases or attempts to purchase alcohol by 18-year-olds, 19-
 21  3 year-olds, or 20-year-olds a scheduled violation of $100.  A
 21  4 first offense would no longer be treated as a scheduled
 21  5 violation punishable by a $15 fine.  Sales or gifts of alcohol
 21  6 to persons aged 18, 19, or 20 are made serious misdemeanors.
 21  7 Code section 123.50 is amended to make the sale, gift, or
 21  8 supplying of alcoholic beverages to persons under the age of
 21  9 18 a serious misdemeanor.  The penalty applicable to the same
 21 10 conduct vis-a-vis 18, 19, and 20-year-olds is also made a
 21 11 serious misdemeanor.
 21 12    Code section 321.216B is amended to make the penalty
 21 13 applicable to the alteration of a driver's license or a
 21 14 nonoperator's identification card for purposes illegally
 21 15 purchasing alcohol a fine of $100.
 21 16    Code section 232.19 is amended to allow a peace officer to
 21 17 restrain any juvenile who presents a risk of danger or injury
 21 18 to the child or others, or is taken into custody for an act of
 21 19 violence against a person.  Currently, if the child is 13
 21 20 years of age or older, the child may be restrained by metal
 21 21 handcuffs only when a transporting vehicle is not equipped
 21 22 with a rear seat prisoner transport cage and the child is
 21 23 being taken into custody for an alleged delinquent act of
 21 24 violence against a person.  Code section 232.19 is amended to
 21 25 provide that the name of a juvenile taken into custody for a
 21 26 delinquent act which would be a serious or an aggravated
 21 27 misdemeanor or a felony is a public record when the juvenile
 21 28 is taken into custody.  Code section 232.28 is amended to
 21 29 provide that a complaint alleging the commission of a
 21 30 delinquent act by a juvenile is a public record if the
 21 31 delinquent act alleged is a serious misdemeanor or greater.
 21 32 Currently, the delinquent act must be an aggravated
 21 33 misdemeanor or greater for the complaint to be a public
 21 34 record.  Code sections 331.653 and 602.8102 are amended to add
 21 35 serious misdemeanors to the list of offenses currently
 22  1 reported by the sheriff and the court to the department of
 22  2 public safety.  Code section 692.1 is amended to provide that
 22  3 criminal history data regarding juveniles shall be maintained
 22  4 by the department of public safety if the juvenile is
 22  5 adjudicated delinquent of a serious misdemeanor or greater.
 22  6 Currently, criminal history data is maintained only for
 22  7 juveniles adjudicated delinquent for aggravated misdemeanors
 22  8 or felonies.
 22  9    The bill also makes numerous changes to Code chapter 232,
 22 10 changes Code section 602.1211, and creates a new Code section
 22 11 907.3A to provide for shared jurisdiction between the adult
 22 12 and juvenile courts over a juvenile who has committed certain
 22 13 crimes.  A juvenile who commits certain crimes would become
 22 14 subject to the jurisdiction of the district court to be tried
 22 15 or to plead guilty as an adult and would receive a deferred
 22 16 sentence and be placed on youthful offender probation as an
 22 17 adult.  The juvenile would then be transferred to the
 22 18 supervision of the juvenile court which would enter a
 22 19 dispositional order as if it had adjudicated the juvenile a
 22 20 delinquent.  At the juvenile's eighteenth birthday, unless
 22 21 supervision is terminated sooner by the juvenile court, the
 22 22 juvenile would be returned to the district court for a hearing
 22 23 at which the court will determine whether the juvenile, now an
 22 24 adult, should continue on youthful offender status or be
 22 25 discharged from youthful offender status as an adult.
 22 26    Juveniles eligible for youthful offender status are those
 22 27 under the age of 16 who commit drug offenses while possessing
 22 28 a firearm or offensive weapon, criminal gang participation
 22 29 involving a firearm or offensive weapon, a felony violation of
 22 30 Code chapter 724 regarding firearms or offensive weapons, or a
 22 31 forcible felony.  These are the same offenses for which
 22 32 juveniles age 16 or 17 are excluded from the jurisdiction of
 22 33 the juvenile court.
 22 34    The bill provides that a juvenile may attain youthful
 22 35 offender status through the waiver of jurisdiction process in
 23  1 the manner that juveniles are currently waived from the
 23  2 jurisdiction of the juvenile court.  The juvenile court can
 23  3 waive its jurisdiction for the purpose of the juvenile being
 23  4 prosecuted as a youthful offender after considering the best
 23  5 interests of the child and community, the resources available
 23  6 to the juvenile court prior to the juvenile's eighteenth
 23  7 birthday, and whether the juvenile should be subject to
 23  8 continued court supervision past the juvenile's eighteenth
 23  9 birthday.
 23 10    A juvenile who is waived for the purpose of being
 23 11 prosecuted as a youthful offender would be held in a juvenile
 23 12 detention facility prior to trial, unless released on bail.
 23 13 Pretrial release conditions, if any, would be determined by
 23 14 the juvenile court at a detention hearing.  The juvenile will
 23 15 be supervised by a juvenile court officer or juvenile court
 23 16 services personnel while in detention or on pretrial release.
 23 17    In addition, juveniles who receive youthful offender
 23 18 deferred sentence shall be subject to the supervision of the
 23 19 juvenile court while on youthful offender status until age 18,
 23 20 unless the juvenile court sooner terminates its supervision
 23 21 because it believes the juvenile has been rehabilitated or the
 23 22 juvenile violates the terms of the juvenile court's order.  If
 23 23 the termination is due to a violation of the terms of the
 23 24 order, the juvenile is treated the same as an adult who has
 23 25 been arrested for a probation violation.  In this case, a
 23 26 juvenile could be sentenced as an adult for the youthful
 23 27 offender status violation, including the reinstatement of the
 23 28 deferred sentence and commitment to the department of
 23 29 corrections.
 23 30    The bill provides that if the juvenile is still on youthful
 23 31 offender status under juvenile court supervision as the
 23 32 juvenile's eighteenth birthday approaches, the juvenile will
 23 33 have a hearing before the district court to determine if
 23 34 youthful offender status will continue.  The district court
 23 35 may continue the youthful offender status for the offender
 24  1 after age 18 is reached after considering the best interests
 24  2 of the offender and the community.  At this point, the
 24  3 offender will be treated the same as other adults who have
 24  4 received a deferred sentence and been placed on probation
 24  5 regarding services or placement.  However, although the bill
 24  6 provides that youthful offenders are to be treated as adults,
 24  7 youthful offender deferred sentences will be given for
 24  8 offenses which would not be eligible for deferred sentence if
 24  9 committed by an adult.
 24 10    Code section 724.26 is amended to add language which
 24 11 includes juveniles who have been adjudicated delinquent on the
 24 12 basis of conduct that would constitute a felony if committed
 24 13 by an adult within the prohibition against convicted felons
 24 14 being able to receive, transport, or have dominion or control
 24 15 over a firearm.
 24 16    Code section 805.8, subsection 11, is amended to raise the
 24 17 civil penalty for illegal use, purchase, attempt to purchase,
 24 18 or possession of various tobacco products by minors from $25
 24 19 to $100.
 24 20    Two new sections are added to the chapter governing uniform
 24 21 school requirements, Code chapter 280, to provide for the
 24 22 reporting of illegal drug or alcohol use on school premises to
 24 23 law enforcement and for the sharing of information between
 24 24 school officials and various agencies pursuant to interagency
 24 25 agreements designed to reduce juvenile crime, improve school
 24 26 safety, reduce truancy, reduce suspensions and expulsions, and
 24 27 to support various alternatives which support students in
 24 28 successfully completing their education.
 24 29    The bill also amends chapter 808A to establish school
 24 30 authority to conduct student and locker searches.  The
 24 31 amendments provide that student lockers, desks, facilities,
 24 32 and spaces owned and furnished by a school and provided as a
 24 33 courtesy to the student are not characterized as protected
 24 34 student areas, and their use does not give rise to an
 24 35 expectation of privacy on the student's part.  School
 25  1 officials must adopt a student search rule, publish the rule
 25  2 in the student handbook, and provide written notice to a
 25  3 student and the student's parent, guardian, or custodian that
 25  4 the school may conduct periodic inspections of all school
 25  5 lockers, desks, facilities, and spaces without prior
 25  6 notification.  The requirements that notice be provided to an
 25  7 adult who enrolls a student, and that the student be present
 25  8 during a locker search, are eliminated.  The reasonable and
 25  9 articulable suspicion standard is eliminated with regard to
 25 10 school official searches of individual students, substituting
 25 11 a reasonable grounds standard in its place.  Searches of more
 25 12 than one student or student area must be reasonably based on
 25 13 balancing the need for the search against any protected
 25 14 student area intrusion, and be conducted in a manner
 25 15 reasonably related to circumstances perceived as justifying
 25 16 the search.
 25 17    This bill may create a state mandate under chapter 25B.
