MA S1050

Courts must hold hearings every 30 days for juveniles on electronic monitoring exceeding 30 days to evaluate whether less restrictive conditions could replace GPS tracking, unless the juvenile waives this review

Juveniles receive one day of credit toward their maximum confinement term for each day spent wearing a court-ordered GPS monitoring device

Juvenile court department must submit annual public reports by December 31st to the governor, legislative committee chairs, and chief justices on electronic monitoring usage

Required data collection includes total days on monitoring, days detained for monitoring violations, reason for placement (new offense, court order violation, or other), and pretrial versus post-adjudication status

All data must be cross-tabulated by demographic categories including age, sex/gender, gender identity, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, charge type, and geographic location
