An act relating to juvenile proceedings, criminal procedures, and forensic facilities for criminal justice-involved individuals

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill would change how certain crimes committed by juveniles and young adults are handled in the court system. It proposes that more serious offenses committed by individuals aged 14 to 21 would start in the Criminal Court instead of the Family Court. The bill also aims to repeal the "Raise the Age" initiative for 19-year-olds and adjust how repeat offenses are tracked and punished.
