Iowa HSB39 allows courts to place children in supervised apartment living arrangements as part of consent decrees, with state funding if certain.

Iowa HSB39 modifies the placement options for children involved in delinquency cases. It allows courts to place children in supervised apartment living arrangements as part of consent decrees, provided this is deemed the least restrictive option. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will fund these placements if they meet HHS-established requirements. This bill also mandates that children in such arrangements make restitution to victims or perform work assignments of value to the victims.
