Minnesota HF4649 clarifies the financial responsibility for detention costs in juvenile delinquency cases.

Minnesota HF4649 amends the law to specify that the costs of detaining a child in a state correctional institution for juveniles are the responsibility of the county where the child resides. If a child is detained in a county other than their county of residence, the requesting county must pay all pre-adjudication detention costs. Once a child is adjudicated delinquent, the county of financial responsibility, as determined by chapter 256G, is responsible for any further costs of care.
