HB 2327 Summary

• Requires all oral, written, or sign language statements made by juveniles during custodial interrogations by law enforcement to be electronically recorded in their entirety and kept substantially accurate and unaltered.

• Exempts statements made in open court, before grand juries, at preliminary hearings, spontaneous statements not in response to questions, and routine processing questions from the electronic recording requirement.

• Prohibits the state from destroying or altering any electronic recording of a custodial interrogation until the juvenile's case reaches final disposition.

• Defines "custodial interrogation" as interrogation conducted in a place of detention from the time a juvenile receives a Miranda warning until release, and "electronic recording" as motion picture, audiotape, videotape, or digital recording.
