Bill Summary

Relative to eligibility for judicial diversion of certain children. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends a section of Massachusetts law to modify the eligibility requirements for judicial diversion of certain juvenile offenders. The key changes are: (1) a child will not be eligible for diversion if they are indicted as a youthful offender or charged with certain serious offenses, such as violent crimes or those punishable by over 5 years in prison; and (2) diversion of juvenile court charges does not preclude a subsequent indictment on the same charges in superior court. The goal of this legislation is to promote child well-being by providing appropriate judicial supervision and oversight for juvenile offenders based on the nature of their alleged crimes.
