Los Angeles County Board Of Supervisors Motion: Discontinuing Collection Of Outstanding Juvenile Detention Fees

This motion was released for the October 9, 2018, meeting of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. The supervisors voted to stop collecting fees once charged to families of juvenile delinquents for their incarceration. The motion directs the county’s Probation Department to stop accepting payment and cancel nearly $90 million in juvenile detention fees assessed before 2009, when the department suspended new fees but continued to collect payment of old ones . . .
