Senate returns diluted juvenile bill to House
Iowa Senate passed a major revision of juvenile law 42 to 8 after days of debate. The measure, aimed at juvenile courts and status offenders, restores some court jurisdiction over runaways and truants and shifts powers to juvenile probation officers and counties. The bill’s authors say it improves justice for youths, while critics argue the process undermined the bill’s intent.
