This bill authorizes the courts of the Commonwealth to establish a system of juvenile restitution. The key provisions are: 1) the court shall make reasonable efforts to ensure restitution is made to the victim of a juvenile offender; 2) the court can order the juvenile to repair, replace, or make financial restitution for damage or loss caused by the wrongful act, and impose limited fines; 3) restitution shall be a condition of release, placement, or parole by the juvenile court; 4) the court can order the juvenile to make direct financial payments to the court, which will be turned over to the victim; and 5) the court can issue orders for the collection of restitution, such as garnishments, wage withholdings, and executions.
