The bill makes any statement or admission obtained during a
juvenile custodial interrogation in which a law enforcement official knowingly uses deception prior to or during the custodial interrogation presumptively inadmissible against the juvenile in an evidentiary hearing unless the prosecution proves by a preponderance of the evidence and based on the totality of the circumstances that the statement or admission was made voluntarily. In assessing the totality of the circumstances, the court shall consider all evidence presented concerning the juvenile's vulnerability to any deception used during the custodial interrogation.
The bill requires law enforcement officials to electronically record
all juvenile custodial interrogations.
The bill directs the P.O.S.T. board to develop a live, virtual,
interactive training program for peace officers on the enforcement of laws related to custodial interrogation of juveniles to ensure uniform interpretation of the law. The state shall cover any local law enforcement agency costs associated with the training.
