LB466

Nebraska LB466 redefines terms under the Nebraska Juvenile Code, including abandonment, age of majority, and alternative to detention.

Nebraska LB466 amends the Nebraska Juvenile Code by redefining several key terms. It specifies that abandonment involves a parent's intentional withholding of care and affection from a child. The age of majority is set at nineteen years. Alternative to detention refers to programs that increase supervision instead of physical restriction. The bill also repeals the original section 43-245, replacing it with these new definitions. This change aims to clarify and update the terminology used in juvenile justice proceedings in Nebraska.
