This bill amends the existing law regarding the detention of alleged delinquent minors by allowing those who reach the age of 18 to be housed in a county corrections facility while awaiting an adjudicatory hearing. Specifically, it modifies the introductory paragraph of RSA 169-B:14, I(e) to state that minors can be detained at a facility certified by the commissioner of the department of health and human services if they are under age 18, and at a county corrections facility once they reach age 18 or older.

The bill aims to clarify the legal framework for the detention of minors transitioning into adulthood, ensuring that those who are 18 and older are placed in appropriate facilities. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage.
