Bill > HB1029

This bill alters the jurisdiction of the juvenile court by repealing provisions that specify the juvenile court does not have jurisdiction over certain crimes committed by children of a certain age. Specifically, the bill removes the exclusions for children at least 14 years old who are alleged to have committed certain serious crimes, as well as exclusions for children at least 16 years old who are alleged to have committed certain other crimes. This expands the jurisdiction of the juvenile court to handle a broader range of cases involving juvenile offenders.
