PURPOSE: The purpose of this resolution is to study the use of shackling on

there is a substantial and immediate risk of physical harm and no less
restrictive alternative is sufficient;
(2) Potential legislation to address the use of shackling on juveniles and
how such legislation should be drafted to provide clarity and consistency for
agencies, staff, and contractors responsible for the care and transportation of
juveniles; and
(3) Legislation, policies, or protocols other states have enacted relating
to the shackling of juveniles and the experiences that such other jurisdictions
have had when implementing limitations on shackling.

of its findings, together with its recommendations, to the Legislative Council
