AI Summary
This bill revises the criteria for sentencing a person as a youthful offender in Florida. The key changes are: 1) the crime must have been committed before the defendant turned 21 years old (previously it was before the offender was sentenced), and 2) the definition of "youthful offender" is updated to refer to the new criteria in Section 958.04 of the Florida Statutes. The bill also reenacts related sections of the Florida Statutes to incorporate the changes to Section 958.04.
