Bill Summary
Repealing provisions requiring the mandatory direct filing of charges in adult court against juveniles in certain circumstances, etc.
AI Summary
This bill repeals the provisions of Florida law that required the mandatory direct filing of charges in adult court against juveniles in certain circumstances. Specifically, it removes the requirement for the state attorney to file an information (criminal charges) against a juvenile who meets certain criteria related to prior felony adjudications, the nature of the current alleged offense, and the juvenile's use of a firearm during the commission of the alleged offense. Instead, the bill gives the state attorney discretion in deciding whether to file charges against the juvenile in adult court or proceed with the case in the juvenile justice system.
