SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Juveniles; release and review hearing for serious offender; plea agreement. Clarifies that the Department of Juvenile Justice (the Department) may petition the court that committed a juvenile for a hearing for an earlier release of a juvenile when good cause exists for an earlier release as permitted under current law and shall petition the committing court for a determination as to the continued commitment of each juvenile committed as a serious offender at least 60 days prior to the second anniversary of the juvenile's date of commitment and at least 60 days prior to each annual anniversary thereafter as required under current law, notwithstanding the terms of any plea agreement. Similarly, at the conclusion of such hearing, the bill provides that notwithstanding the terms of any plea agreement, the court shall order any of the dispositions permitted under current law such as continued commitment to the Department or release of the juvenile under terms and conditions after considering the statutory factors.
