CA AB2658

Minors in the juvenile justice system receive one day of custody credit for each day served on electronic monitoring, retroactive to January 1, 2023.

Courts must hold a hearing every 30 days when electronic monitoring is imposed for longer than 30 days to determine if the minor should remain on monitoring or be placed on less restrictive conditions.

Electronic monitoring devices are prohibited from being used to converse with, eavesdrop on, or record conversations with minors.

The Department of Justice must collect and report annual data on juvenile electronic monitoring use, including total days monitored, reasons for placement, detentions for contract violations, and demographic information broken down by age, gender, ethnicity, and offense, beginning July 1, 2026.
