| This bill increases the limit of liability from $800 to |
| $10,000 for a parent or guardian for damage caused by that |
| parent or guardian's minor child. It provides that when a |
| juvenile has been adjudicated as having committed a juvenile |
| crime and the court orders restitution and subsequently finds |
| that the earning capacity of the juvenile is insufficient to |
| pay restitution to the victim, the court may order a custodial |
| parent or legal guardian to make restitution to the victim of |
| the offense for which the juvenile was adjudicated. It also |
| provides that a court may order the parents or legal guardian |
| of a juvenile who has been adjudicated as having committed a |
| juvenile crime to personally participate in counseling, |
| education and treatment reasonably available in the parents' |
| or legal guardian's area. Finally, it permits a court to |
| invoke its contempt powers to enforce an order entered |
| regarding dispositional alternatives for juveniles. |
