SB 144 Power of circuit court over juvenile offender.

Introduced by: J. Randy Forbes | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Power of circuit court over juvenile offender. Allows the circuit court to punish a juvenile convicted of a felony in the same manner as the juvenile courts, and no longer distinguishes between violent felonies and other felonies for purposes of punishment as a juvenile. The bill does not remove the circuit court's ability to punish the juvenile as an adult.
