SUMMARY

This bill:

1. Substitutes in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 15, as well as in the provisions of Titles 12 and 29-A concerning juveniles convicted of adult offenses, the term "confinement" for the term "detention" when referring to a disposition to eliminate confusion with the proper use of the term "detention";

2. Clarifies in Title 15 that the bail process is not available for a juvenile charged with an adult Title 12 or 29-A offense, but that detention decisions are left to the juvenile community corrections officer;

3. Provides that "good time" on detention time is not available to juveniles;
