The resolution aims to conduct a comprehensive study on the use of shackling for juveniles within the Nebraska legislative framework. It outlines specific areas of focus, including the conditions under which shackling should be prohibited or permitted, particularly in situations where there is an immediate risk of physical harm and no less restrictive alternatives are available. Additionally, the resolution seeks to explore potential legislation that could clarify and standardize the practices surrounding the shackling of juveniles for agencies and personnel involved in their care and transportation.

To facilitate this study, the Judiciary Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with overseeing the research and analysis. Upon completion of the study, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, ensuring that the insights gained can inform future legislative actions regarding the treatment of juveniles in the justice system.
