Juveniles: detention.

Summary

The bill changes California law so that a juvenile must be released from custody unless a judge finds clear and convincing evidence that the youth has broken a court order, escaped, or poses an immediate safety risk. It expands home‑supervision options, limits detention based on county of residence, and adds safeguards for children in foster care or other dependent status. The goal is to reduce unnecessary confinement and address disparities in juvenile detention.
