The House Courts and Criminal Code Committee heard HB 1304 on various criminal law issues for juveniles. Since Representative McMillin was still working on additional amendments, only two of the four of the amendments heard the previous week were adopted by consent of the committee. The amendment permitting use of Vivitrol and the amendment broadening the definition of “runaway” to include leaving a specific location designated by a parent, guardian or custodian in addition to leaving home without consent were adopted by voice vote. The bill was held for further amendment.
