Public Safety and Elections

Juvenile Identification Act
Summary

Did you know the
NRA--the National
Rifle Association-was the corporate cochair in 2011?

Act allows juvenile suspects to be placed in a police line-up subject to the same
conditions as adult suspects, but with the added provision of parent/guardian
notification.

Model Legislation
Section 1. {Title}
This Act shall be known as the Juvenile Identification Act

Section 2. {Model Legislation}
A.The Court may, at the request of the person or entity requesting the identification
process, order the juvenile to appear at a place or time designated by the court for
identification by another person. Identification under this section may include
identification in a physical line up.
B.If the court orders identification proceedings under this section, the court shall notify
the juvenile and the juvenile's parent, guardian or custodian1 that the juvenile has the
right to consult an attorney and to have an attorney present during the identification
proceedings. If the juvenile and the juvenile's parent, guardian, or custodian cannot
afford an attorney but request an attorney, the court shall appoint an attorney to
represent the juvenile.

Section 3. {Severability Clause}
Section 4. {Repealer Clause}
Section 5. {Effective Date}
ENDNOTES

1 Cite appropriate statute for the correct procedure for notifying a parent, guardian or
custodian; we recommend guidelines similar to those required for service of a summons.
