AI Summary
This bill aims to fund youth courts for first-time juvenile offenders who have committed misdemeanor crimes. It establishes the Youth Court Fund, which will be credited with a portion of the proceeds received by the Commonwealth under Section 6D of Chapter 280 of the General Laws. The fund will be administered by the Secretary of Public Safety and Security and used solely for the administration of the youth court program. The bill also allows district attorneys to request that a justice impose an assessment of up to $5 on individuals who plead guilty or are convicted of certain drug-related offenses or who pay a fine or civil penalty for violations of certain traffic laws. The assessments collected will be deposited into the Youth Court Fund, with any amount exceeding $2 million per year being deposited into the General Fund.
