Responsibility for detention costs in juvenile delinquency matters determined.

Summary

The measure amends state law to specify which county must cover the expenses when a child is detained in a juvenile facility. The county that asks for the detention pays all pre‑adjudication costs, and after a delinquency finding, the county identified as financially responsible under chapter 256G pays any further care costs. This clarifies funding responsibilities for local governments.
