Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would delete the section of the juvenile justice law that allows the Autonomous Communities and the Cities of Ceuta and Melilla to sign agreements with private nonprofit entities to carry out measures imposed on minors.
  2. With that deletion, control and management of these measures would pass to the competent public administrations, so that the measures better meet their educational and reintegration goals.
  3. The Administration of Justice would have to provide enough staff and resources to guarantee public management of the execution of the measures imposed on minors.
  4. The law would take effect the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette (Boletín Oficial del Estado).

Who it affects

  • Minors serving detention measures for offenses: Their centers would no longer be run by private entities and would become publicly run.
  • Autonomous Communities and the Cities of Ceuta and Melilla: They could no longer sign agreements with private nonprofit entities to carry out the measures.
  • Nonprofit associations and foundations running centers: They would lose the ability to execute juvenile detention measures.

  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
