1 1 Section 1. Section 232.22, subsection 1, Code 2001, is
1 2 amended by adding the following new paragraph:
1 3 NEW PARAGRAPH. h. There is probable cause to believe that
1 4 the child has committed a delinquent act that, if committed by
1 5 an adult, would violate the prohibition against carrying
1 6 weapons on school grounds under section 724.4B.
1 7 Sec. 2. Section 232.44, subsection 6, Code 2001, is
1 8 amended to read as follows:
1 9 6. If the court finds that there is probable cause to
1 10 believe that the child is within the jurisdiction of the court
1 11 under this chapter and that full-time detention or shelter
1 12 care is authorized under section 232.21 or 232.22 or that
1 13 detention is authorized under section 232.23, it may issue an
1 14 order authorizing either shelter care or detention until the
1 15 adjudicatory hearing or trial is held or for a period not
1 16 exceeding seven days, whichever is shorter. However, in the
1 17 case of a child placed in detention under section 232.23, this
1 18 period may be extended by agreement of the parties and the
1 19 court. However, if the court finds that that full-time
1 20 detention is authorized because there is probable cause to
1 21 believe that the child has committed a delinquent act that, if
1 22 committed by an adult, would violate the prohibition against
1 23 carrying weapons on school grounds under section 724.4B, the
1 24 court shall not order the child's release until the child has
1 25 been in detention for not less than seventy-two hours or, if a
1 26 physical or mental examination is to be conducted at the
1 27 detention facility, until a physical or mental examination is
1 28 completed as provided under section 232.49, subsection 4.
1 29 Sec. 3. Section 232.49, Code 2001, is amended by adding
1 30 the following new subsection:
1 31 NEW SUBSECTION. 4. After the filing of a delinquency
1 32 petition the court shall order a physical or mental
1 33 examination of the child if there is probable cause to believe
1 34 the child has committed a delinquent act which would be a
1 35 violation under section 724.4B if committed by an adult. The
2 1 examination may be conducted at the detention facility, on an
2 2 out-patient basis if the child is not placed in detention, or
2 3 the court may commit the child to a hospital, facility, or
2 4 institution for the purpose of conducting such an examination.
2 5 Commitment for examination shall not exceed thirty days and
2 6 the civil commitment provisions of chapter 229 shall not
2 7 apply.
2 8 EXPLANATION
2 9 This bill provides for placement in detention and requires
2 10 a physical or mental examination of a child who carries a
2 11 firearm on school grounds. The bill provides that if there is
2 12 probable cause to believe a child has committed a delinquent
2 13 act for carrying a firearm on school grounds, the child may be
2 14 placed in detention. The bill provides that if the child is
2 15 placed in detention, the child must stay for a period of at
2 16 least 72 hours or, if a physical or mental examination is to
2 17 be conducted at the detention facility, until a physical or
2 18 mental examination has been conducted. The bill provides that
2 19 the examination may be conducted in detention, or on an out-
2 20 patient basis if the child is not placed in detention, or the
2 21 court may commit the person to a hospital, facility, or
2 22 institution in order for the examination to be conducted. The
2 23 commitment for an examination shall not exceed 30 days.
