Amend the bill as a whole by renumbering sections 9 and 10 as sections 10 and 11 and adding a new section designated sec. 9, following sec. 8, to read as follows:
"Sec. 9. NRS 62.170 is hereby amended to read as follows:
62.1701. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 62.175, any peace officer or probation officer may take into custody any child who is found violating any law or ordinance or whose conduct indicates that he is a child in need of supervision. [When] Except as otherwise provided in NRS 484.383, when a child is taken into custody, the officer shall immediately notify the parent, guardian or custodian of the child, if known, and the probation officer. Unless it is impracticable or inadvisable or has been otherwise ordered by the court, or is otherwise provided in this section, the child must be released to the custody of his parent or other responsible adult who has signed a written agreement to bring the child to the court at a stated time or at such time as the court may direct. The written agreement must be submitted to the court as soon as possible. If this person fails to produce the child as agreed or upon notice from the court, a writ may be issued for the attachment of the person or of the child requiring that the person or child, or both of them, be brought into the court at a time stated in the writ.
2. If the child is not released, as provided in subsection 1, the child must be taken without unnecessary delay to the court or to the place of detention designated by the court, and, as soon as possible thereafter, the fact of detention must be reported to the court. Pending further disposition of the case the child may be released to the custody of the parent or other person appointed by the court, or may be detained in such place as is designated by the court, subject to further order. The court may authorize supervised detention at the [child's] home of the child in lieu of detention at a facility for the detention of juveniles.
3. A child alleged to be delinquent or in need of supervision must not, before disposition of the case, be detained in a facility for the secure detention of juveniles unless there is probable cause to believe that:
(a) If the child is not detained, he is likely to commit an offense dangerous to himself or to the community, or likely to commit damage to property;
(b) The child will run away or be taken away so as to be unavailable for proceedings of the court or to its officers;
(c) The child was brought to the probation officer pursuant to a court order or warrant; or
(d) The child is a fugitive from another jurisdiction.
4. A child not alleged to be delinquent or in need of supervision must not at any time be confined or detained in a facility for the secure detention of juveniles or any police station, lockup, jail, prison or other facility in which adults are detained or confined.
5. A child under 18 years of age must not at any time be confined or detained in any police station, lockup, jail, prison or other facility where the child has regular contact with any adult convicted of a crime or under arrest and charged with a crime, unless:
(a) The child is alleged to be delinquent;
(b) An alternative facility is not available; and
(c) The child is separated by sight and sound from any adults who are confined or detained therein.
6. A child alleged to be delinquent who is taken into custody and detained must be given a detention hearing, conducted by the judge or master:
(a) Within 24 hours after the child submits a written application;
(b) In a county whose population is less than 100,000, within 24 hours after the commencement of detention at a police station, lockup, jail, prison or other facility in which adults are detained or confined;
(c) In a county whose population is 100,000 or more, within 6 hours after the commencement of detention at a police station, lockup, jail, prison or other facility in which adults are detained or confined; or
(d) Within 72 hours after the commencement of detention at a facility in which adults are not detained or confined,
whichever occurs first, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. A child must not be released after a detention hearing without the written consent of the judge or master.
7. If the parent, guardian or custodian of the child appears with or on behalf of the child at a detention hearing, the judge or master shall provide to him a certificate of attendance which he may provide to his employer. The certificate of attendance must set forth the date and time of appearance and the provisions of NRS 62.410. The certificate of attendance must not set forth the name of the child or the offense alleged.
8. A child who is taken into custody and detained must, if alleged to be a child in need of supervision, be released within 24 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, after his initial contact with a peace officer to his parent, guardian or custodian, to any other person who is able to provide adequate care and supervision, or to shelter care, except as otherwise provided in subsection 9 or unless the court holds a detention hearing and determines the child:
(a) Has threatened to run away from home or from the shelter;
(b) Is accused of violent behavior at home; or
(c) Is accused of violating the terms of his supervision and consent decree.
If the court makes such a determination, the child may be detained for an additional 24 hours after the hearing, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, if needed by the court to make an alternative placement. Such an alternative placement must be in a facility in which there are no physically restraining devices or barriers. A child must not be detained pursuant to this subsection for a total period in excess of 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
9. A child alleged to be in need of supervision who is taken into custody and detained need not be released within 24 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, after his initial contact with a peace officer to his parent, guardian or custodian, to any other person who is able to provide adequate care and supervision, or to a shelter for care, if the court holds a detention hearing and determines the child:
(a) Is a ward of a federal court or held pursuant to federal statute;
(b) Has run away from another state and a jurisdiction within the state has issued a want, warrant or request for the child; or
(c) Is accused of violating a valid court order.
If the court makes such a determination, the child may be detained for such an additional period as necessary for the court to return the child to the jurisdiction from which he originated or to make an alternative placement. Such an alternative placement must be in a facility in which there are no physically restraining devices or barriers.
10. During the pendency of a criminal or quasi-criminal charge of a crime excluded from the original jurisdiction of the court pursuant to NRS 62.040, a child may petition the juvenile division for temporary placement in a facility for the detention of juveniles.
11. In determining whether to release a child pursuant to this section to a person other than his parent, guardian or custodian, preference must be given to any person related within the third degree of consanguinity to the child who is suitable and able to provide proper care and guidance for the child.".

Sec. 2. NRS 62.211 is hereby amended to read as follows:

62.211 1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 62.212 and section 1 of this act, if the court finds that a child is within the purview of this chapter it shall so decree and may:

(a) Place the child under supervision in his own home or in the custody of a suitable person elsewhere, upon such conditions as the court may determine. A program of supervision in the home may include electronic surveillance of the child. The legislature declares that a program of supervision that includes electronic surveillance is intended as an alternative to commitment and not as an alternative to probation, informal supervision or a supervision and consent decree.

(b) Commit the child to the custody of a public or private institution or agency authorized to care for children, or place him in a home with a family. In committing a child to a private institution or agency the court shall select one that is required to be licensed by the department of human resources to care for such children, or, if the institution or agency is in another state, by the analogous department of that state. The court shall not commit a female child to a private institution without prior approval of the superintendent of the Caliente youth center, and shall not commit a male child to a private institution without prior approval of the superintendent of the Nevada youth training center.

(c) Order such medical, psychiatric, psychological or other care and treatment as the court deems to be for the best interests of the child, except as otherwise provided in this section.

(d) Order the parent, guardian, custodian or any other person to refrain from continuing the conduct which, in the opinion of the court, has caused or tended to cause the child to come within or remain under the provisions of this chapter.

(e) If the child is less than 17 years of age, order the parent, guardian or custodian of the child, and any brothers, sisters or other persons living in the same household as the child over whom the court has jurisdiction to attend or participate in counseling, alone or together with the child, including, but not limited to, counseling regarding parenting skills, alcohol or substance abuse or techniques of dispute resolution. The court may use the money in the account established pursuant to subsection 2 to pay for any counseling ordered by the court pursuant to this paragraph if a parent, guardian or custodian of a child demonstrates to the satisfaction of the court that he needs financial assistance to pay for the care and treatment.

(f) Order the parent or guardian of the child to participate in a program designed to provide restitution to the victim of an act committed by the child or to perform public service.

(g) Order the parent or guardian of the child to pay all or part of the cost of the proceedings, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees, any costs incurred by the court and any costs incurred in the investigation of an act committed by the child and the taking into custody of the child.

(h) Order the suspension of the child's driver's license for at least 90 days but not more than 2 years. If the child does not possess a driver's license, the court may prohibit the child from receiving a driver's license for at least 90 days but not more than 2 years:

(1) Immediately following the date of the order, if the child is eligible to receive a driver's license.

(2) After the date he becomes eligible to apply for a driver's license, if the child is not eligible to receive a license on the date of the order.

If the court issues an order suspending the driver's license of a child pursuant to this paragraph, the judge shall require the child to surrender to the court all driver's licenses then held by the child. The court shall, within 5 days after issuing the order, forward to the department of motor vehicles and public safety the licenses, together with a copy of the order. If, pursuant to this paragraph, the court issues an order delaying the ability of a child to receive a driver's license, the court shall, within 5 days after issuing the order, forward to the department of motor vehicles and public safety a copy of the order. The department of motor vehicles and public safety shall report a suspension pursuant to this paragraph to an insurance company or its agent inquiring about the child's driving record, but such a suspension must not be considered for the purpose of rating or underwriting. The department of motor vehicles and public safety shall not require the child to submit to the tests and other requirements which are adopted by regulation pursuant to subsection 1 of NRS 483.495 as a condition of reinstatement or reissuance after a suspension of his license pursuant to this paragraph, unless the suspension resulted from his poor performance as a driver.

(i) Place the child, when he is not in school, under the supervision of:

(1) A public organization to work on public projects;

(2) A public agency to work on projects to eradicate graffiti; or

(3) A private nonprofit organization to perform other public service.

The person under whose supervision the child is placed shall keep the child busy and well supervised and shall make such reports to the court as it may require. As a condition of such a placement, the court may require the child or his parent or guardian to deposit with the court a reasonable sum of money to pay for the cost of policies of insurance against liability for personal injury and damage to property or for industrial insurance, or both, during those periods in which he performs the work, unless, in the case of industrial insurance, it is provided by the organization or agency for which he performs the work.

(j) Permit the child to reside in a residence without the immediate supervision of an adult, or exempt the child from mandatory attendance at school so that the child may be employed full time, or both, if the child is at least 16 years of age, has demonstrated the capacity to benefit from this placement or exemption and is under the strict supervision of the juvenile division.

(k) Require the child to provide restitution to the victim of the crime which the child has committed.

(l) Impose a fine on the child. If a fine is imposed, the court shall impose an administrative assessment pursuant to NRS 62.223.

2. If the court finds that a child is a habitual truant and imposes a fine pursuant to paragraph (l), the money collected from the fine must be paid by the clerk of the court to the county treasurer on or before the fifth day of each month for the preceding month. The county treasurer shall, on or before the 15th day of that month, deposit the money in the county general fund for credit to a separate account to support programs to reduce the rate of truancy in the public schools of the county and for use by the court pursuant to paragraph (e) of subsection 1.

3. If the court places a child in need of supervision under formal supervision and the child violates a condition of that formal supervision, the court may detain the child for not more than 30 days.

4. If the court finds that a child who is less than 17 years of age has committed a delinquent act, the court may order the parent or guardian of the child to pay any fines and penalties imposed for the delinquent act. If the parent or guardian is unable to pay the fines and penalties imposed because of financial hardship, the court may require the parent or guardian to perform community service.

[3.] 5. In determining the appropriate disposition of a case concerning a child found to be within the purview of this chapter, the court shall consider whether the act committed by the child involved the use of a firearm or the use or threatened use of force or violence against the victim of the act and whether the child is a serious or chronic offender. If the court finds that the act committed by the child involved the use of a firearm or the use or threatened use of force or violence against the victim or that the child is a serious or chronic offender, the court shall include the finding in its order and may, in addition to the options set forth in subsections 1 and 2 of this section and NRS 62.213:

(a) Commit the child for confinement in a secure facility, including a facility which is secured by its staff.

(b) Impose any other punitive measures the court determines to be in the best interests of the public or the child.

[4.] 6. At any time, either on its own volition or for good cause shown, the court may terminate its jurisdiction concerning the child.

[5.] 7. Whenever the court commits a child to any institution or agency pursuant to this section or NRS 62.213, it shall transmit a summary of its information concerning the child and order the administrator of the school that the child last attended to transmit a copy of the child's educational records to the institution or agency. The institution or agency shall give to the court any information concerning the child that the court may require.

[6.] 8. In determining whether to place a child pursuant to this section in the custody of a person other than his parent, guardian or custodian, preference must be given to any person related within the third degree of consanguinity to the child whom the court finds suitable and able to provide proper care and guidance for the child.

(1) The parent or guardian of the child, to the extent of his financial ability, to pay the costs associated with the participation of the child in the program, including, but not limited to, a reasonable sum of money to pay for the cost of policies of insurance against liability for personal injury and damage to property during those periods in which the child participates in the program;

(2) The child to work on projects or perform public service pursuant to paragraph (i) for a period that reflects the costs associated with the participation of the child in the program; or

(3) The county in which the petition alleging the child to be delinquent or in need of supervision is filed to pay the costs associated with the participation of the child in the program.

2. If the court finds that a child is a habitual truant and imposes a fine pursuant to paragraph (l), the money collected from the fine must be paid by the clerk of the court to the county treasurer on or before the fifth day of each month for the preceding month. The county treasurer shall, on or before the 15th day of that month, deposit the money in the county general fund for credit to a separate account to support programs to reduce the rate of truancy in the public schools of the county and for use by the court pursuant to paragraph (e) of subsection 1.

3. If the court places a child in need of supervision under formal supervision and the child violates a condition of that formal supervision, the court may detain the child for not more than 30 days.

4. If the court finds that a child who is less than 17 years of age has committed a delinquent act, the court may order the parent or guardian of the child to pay any fines and penalties imposed for the delinquent act. If the parent or guardian is unable to pay the fines and penalties imposed because of financial hardship, the court may require the parent or guardian to perform community service.

[3.] 5. In determining the appropriate disposition of a case concerning a child found to be within the purview of this chapter, the court shall consider whether the act committed by the child involved the use of a firearm or the use or threatened use of force or violence against the victim of the act and whether the child is a serious or chronic offender. If the court finds that the act committed by the child involved the use of a firearm or the use or threatened use of force or violence against the victim or that the child is a serious or chronic offender, the court shall include the finding in its order and may, in addition to the options set forth in subsections 1 and 2 of this section and NRS 62.213:

(a) Commit the child for confinement in a secure facility, including a facility which is secured by its staff.

(b) Impose any other punitive measures the court determines to be in the best interests of the public or the child.

[4.] 6. Except as otherwise provided in section 7 of Senate Bill No. 102 of this session, at any time, either on its own volition or for good cause shown, the court may terminate its jurisdiction concerning the child.

[5.] 7. Whenever the court commits a child to any institution or agency pursuant to this section or NRS 62.213, it shall transmit a summary of its information concerning the child and order the administrator of the school that the child last attended to transmit a copy of the child's educational records to the institution or agency. The institution or agency shall give to the court any information concerning the child that the court may require.

[6.] 8. In determining whether to place a child pursuant to this section in the custody of a person other than his parent, guardian or custodian, preference must be given to any person related within the third degree of consanguinity to the child whom the court finds suitable and able to provide proper care and guidance for the child.".
