This bill amends existing laws regarding the conditional release of delinquent minors and children in need of services, specifically allowing courts to retain jurisdiction over violations of conditional releases. The bill introduces new legal language that permits the court to hear such violations as long as they are filed within the period of the conditional release. This is reflected in the amendments to RSA 169-B:2, VIII(d) and RSA 169-D:2, III(d), where the phrase "The court may retain jurisdiction to hear violations of the conditions of release so long as the violation is filed within the period of conditional release" is added.

Additionally, the bill establishes new paragraphs in RSA 169-B:4 and RSA 169-D:3, which explicitly state that the court may retain jurisdiction to hear violations of conditions of release as outlined in the respective sections. The effective date for this act is set for January 1, 2027. Overall, the bill aims to clarify and enhance the court's authority in managing violations related to conditional releases for minors and children in need of services.
