HB 295 Commitment to Department of Juvenile Justice.
Introduced by: Phillip A. Hamilton | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice. Changes criteria for commitment to the Department. Currently a child older than 10 years of age may be committed, this bill raises the age to 11 or older. The bill also provides for commitment to the Department for an offense which would be a Class 1 misdemeanor and the juvenile has been previously convicted of three Class 1 misdemeanors or a felony. Current law allows commitment for a Class 1 misdemeanor if the prior conviction was a felony or a Class 1 misdemeanor. The bill also clarifies that (i) abused and neglected children may not be committed to the Department and (ii) any juvenile who is in the custody of the Department and is subsequently convicted as an adult is to be transferred to the Department of Corrections. This bill is identical to SB 150 and SB 344.
