  1  1    Section 1.  Section 232.55, subsection 2, unnumbered
  1  2 paragraph 1, Code 2001, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    Adjudication and disposition proceedings under this
  1  4 division are not admissible as evidence against a person in a
  1  5 subsequent proceeding in any other court before or after the
  1  6 person reaches majority except.  However, adjudication and
  1  7 disposition proceedings are admissible in a child in need of
  1  8 assistance proceeding if the ability of the person to care for
  1  9 the child is at issue, and in a sentencing proceeding after
  1 10 conviction of the person for an offense other than a simple or
  1 11 serious misdemeanor.  Adjudication and disposition proceedings
  1 12 may properly be included in a presentence investigation report
  1 13 prepared pursuant to chapter 901 and section 906.5.  
  1 14                           EXPLANATION
  1 15    This bill relates to the admissibility of evidence in a
  1 16 child in need of assistance case.
  1 17    The bill provides that if a person has previously been
  1 18 adjudicated a delinquent, the delinquency proceedings shall be
  1 19 admissible against the person in a subsequent court hearing if
  1 20 the hearing involves a child in need of assistance case where
  1 21 the ability of the person to care for the child is at issue.
  1 22    Current law only permits the admissibility of delinquency
  1 23 proceedings in a subsequent criminal sentencing hearing if the
  1 24 criminal offense is greater than a serious misdemeanor.
