Changes the standard for allowing a juvenile to be held in an adult jail to require an order from the court that the juvenile be held for criminal proceedings as an adult or the DA has direct filed an indictment, or the court has held a hearing and finds it is in the interest or justice to hold the juvenile in an adult facility. Allows the juvenile who has been placed in an adult facility to petition the court if the circumstances have changed substantially.
