HB 1062 Juveniles; intake officer may proceed if petition alleges an adult offense.

Introduced by: Ward L. Armstrong (by request) | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Intake of juveniles. Permits a juvenile intake officer to proceed informally against a juvenile more than once where the juvenile is alleged to have committed an offense that would be a Class 1 misdemeanor or lesser offense if committed by an adult, or is alleged to have committed a status offense. Under current law, intake officers may proceed informally only once where the juvenile is alleged to have committed such an offense. This bill would allow the intake officer to seek alternatives to court action when the offense the juvenile is alleged to have committed is not a violent juvenile felony, and is intended to help relieve the burden on juvenile court dockets.
