New York S03903 amends the criminal procedure law to require police to notify parents or guardians of arrested youth, except when it would endanger.

New York S03903, known as the "chance to help notification act," amends the criminal procedure law. It mandates that police officers must immediately notify the parent or guardian of a youth upon arrest, providing details of the arrest and the facility where the youth is detained. However, this notification is not required if the youth is not a juvenile offender and such notification would endanger the youth's health or safety. The bill also requires police to notify parents or guardians when serving an appearance ticket to a youth, again with exceptions if it would endanger the youth.
