1 31 EXPLANATION
1 32 This bill relates to a person 18 years of age or older
1 33 within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court.
1 34 The bill provides that a person 18 years of age or older
1 35 may be placed in detention if the juvenile court has
2 1 jurisdiction over the person under Code section 232.53. The
2 2 bill provides that a person 18 years of age may be placed in
2 3 detention if the juvenile court has juridiction pursuant to
2 4 the juvenile interstate compact in Code section 232.171.
2 5 Generally, the juvenile court has jurisdiction over a person
2 6 until the person reaches the age of 18. However, the juvenile
2 7 court may maintain jurisdiction for a period of time after the
2 8 age of 18, if the person committed a delinquent act just prior
2 9 to reaching the age of 18, or if the person is eligible for
2 10 services or if the person is from another state that has
2 11 different jurisdictional requirements.
2 12 The bill also provides that the department of human
2 13 services may pay for group foster care services for a person
2 14 who is 18 years of age. The bill permits the department to
2 15 pay for a treatment program until completion for a person who
2 16 is 18 years of age or older.
