Modifies procedures relating to the detention of a juvenile

This act requires that juvenile detention hearings be held on the record and to be subject to the same procedural and substantive rules as a preliminary hearing in a criminal prosecution. The court must inform the juvenile of the juvenile's right to counsel, including the right to have counsel appointed. Under these provisions, any evidence of probable cause that the juvenile committed an offense must be given to the court along with any evidence relevant to the necessity to detain the juvenile.
