146th GENERAL ASSEMBLY

HOUSE BILL NO. 23

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO TRUANCY.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:

Section 1.Amend §2730 of Title 14 of the Delaware Code by renumbering current subsection (d) as (e).

Section 2.Amend §2730 by inserting a new subsection (d) to read as follows:

"(d) Provided the parent(s), guardians(s) and/or custodian(s) has been served with a warrant or summons in accordance with §2728 of this title, the Court may impose such conditions upon the parent(s), guardian and/or custodian of the person adjudicated as the Court deems necessary to assist the person adjudicated in receiving all the treatment, rehabilitation or care ordered by the Court.Additionally, the Court may impose such conditions as will enhance the ability of such parent(s), guardian(s) and or/ custodian(s) in providing the adjudicated person with adequate support, guidance and supervision necessary to follow the remedial disposition.".

SYNOPSIS

This Bill provides the Justice of the Peace Court with jurisdiction to impose conditions upon the parent(s), guardian(s) and or custodian(s) of a person adjudicated as truant, provided that notice requirements are met.The conditions imposed may be those necessary to assist the adjudicated person in receiving all forms of treatment as well as guidance and supervision.Because the treatment and care of persons adjudicated truant is often directly related to the parent(s)/guardian(s)/custodian(s), this Bill will provide the Court with greater ability to enforce the conditions imposed upon both the adjudicated person and the individual(s) providing their care.This ability would assist the Court in meeting the long-term goal of a reduction in truancy and the rehabilitation of those adjudicated truant
