THE COURTS

CHESTER COUNTY

In Re: Juvenile Support Bench Warrants

[40 Pa.B. 2418]
[Saturday, May 8, 2010]

Administrative Regulation No. 11-2010

 And Now, this 7th day of April, 2010, pursuant to Pennsylvania Rules of Juvenile Court Procedure Nos. 121, 210.C, 220.A.(2)(b) and 1121, and consistent with prior Chester County Court of Common Pleas Administrative Order 7-2008, it is hereby Ordered and Decreed that the following shall become juvenile court local rule L-220.A.(2)(b):

 Any juvenile (a person who is less than eighteen (18) years of age) taken into custody pursuant to a bench warrant issued for failure to pay support shall be transported to the Chester County Youth Center (Youth Center) for detention until the bench warrant is quashed or a court of common pleas judge holds a seventy-two (72) hour hearing for the juvenile. In the event that the judge determines that further detention is warranted, the juvenile shall remain in the Youth Center. Under no circumstances shall such a juvenile be incarcerated in the Chester County Prison. The Youth Center shall immediately notify the appropriate supervisor of the Chester County Domestic Relations Office (DRO) to apprise the DRO of the juvenile's detention. Upon such notice, the DRO shall promptly perform all functions that it normally performs for incarcerated support defendants, including the scheduling of a seventy-two (72) hour hearing for the juvenile before a judge.

 Pursuant to Pa.R.J.C.P. Nos. 121.C and 1121.C, the number of this local rule is keyed to Pa.R.J.C.P. 220.A.(2)(b), pertaining to the delivery of arrested juveniles to a detention facility designated by the court.
