BILL 59 1968

An Act to amend The Juvenile Court Act (Assented ,1968) HER MAJESTY, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Alberta, enacts as follows: 1. The Juvenile Court Act is hereby amended.

Section 33 is amended by adding the following sub section:

(3) Where a judge commits a juvenile delinquent to an industrial school the Superintendent, if he thinks it to be for the good of the child and the interest of the community, may at any time by order in writing release the juvenile delinquent from the industrial school either absolutely or upon such conditions as to the Superintendent seem proper. 3. This Act comes into force on the day upon which it is assented to.

Explanatory Notes I. This Bill amends

chapter 16'6 of the Revised Statutes.

Section 33 presently reads: 33.

(1) Where a child is adjudged to be a juvenile delinquent and the judge c,ommits the child to the care or custody of (

a) a probation officer or other suitable person, (

b) a person operating a suitable family home as a foster home, (

c) the Superintendent, (

d) a person in charge of a {!hildren's aid society, or (

e) the chief officer of an industrial school, the Superintendent shall exercise during the period of the commitment all the rights of the legal guardian of the child, except in respect of proceedings for adoption of the child under The Child Welfare Act.

(2) Where a judge commits a juvenile delinquent to the care or custody of the Superintendent, the Superintendent may at any time direct the release of the juvenile delinquent from his care or custody either absolutely or on such conditions as the Superintendent may think fit. T.he change allows the Superintendent of Juvenile Offenders to act to release children who, having been found to be in a state of delinquency, have been committed by the Juvenile Court judge directly to an industrial school instead of into the care or custody of the Superintendent himself.
