PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 232.2, subsection 6, Code Supplement
  1  2 1999, is amended by adding the following new paragraph:
  1  3    NEW PARAGRAPH.  p.  Whose parent, guardian, or custodian is
  1  4 unwilling or unable to cause the child to attend school as
  1  5 required under section 299.1.
  1  6    Sec. 2.  Section 299.8, Code 1999, is amended to read as
  1  7 follows:
  1  8    299.8  "TRUANT" TRUANT DEFINED.
  1  9    Any child of compulsory attendance age who fails to attend
  1 10 school as provided in this chapter, or as required by the
  1 11 school board's or school governing body's attendance policy,
  1 12 or who fails to attend competent private instruction under
  1 13 chapter 299A, without reasonable excuse for the absence, shall
  1 14 be deemed to be a truant.  A finding that a child is truant,
  1 15 however, shall not by itself mean that the child is a child in
  1 16 need of assistance within the meaning of chapter 232 and shall
  1 17 not be the sole basis for a child in need of assistance
  1 18 petition.
  1 19    Sec. 3.  IMPLEMENTATION.  Section 25B.2, subsection 3,
  1 20 shall not apply to this Act.  
  1 21                           EXPLANATION
  1 22    This bill defines as a child in need of assistance in the
  1 23 juvenile justice code a child whose parent, guardian, or
  1 24 custodian is unwilling or unable to cause the child to attend
  1 25 school.
  1 26    The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code
  1 27 section 25B.3.  However, the bill makes inapplicable the state
  1 28 mandate funding requirement provided in section 25B.2,
  1 29 subsection 3, which would relieve a political subdivision from
  1 30 complying with a state mandate if funding for the cost of the
  1 31 state mandate is not provided or specified.  Therefore,
  1 32 political subdivisions are required to comply with any state
  1 33 mandate included in this bill.
