Bill > SB1306

This bill amends Section 8-341 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which covers juvenile court dispositions and commitments. The key provisions are: 1. It allows the juvenile court to award a delinquent juvenile to various individuals or agencies for supervision, including their parents, probation departments, private agencies, or the Department of Juvenile Corrections. 2. It sets limits on the duration of juvenile probation, generally up to the juvenile's 18th or 19th birthday, but allows for a shorter 1-year probation term in certain circumstances. 3. It requires the court to provide written notice to juveniles about the consequences of being adjudicated as a "first time felony juvenile offender" or a "repeat felony juvenile offender." 4. It requires the court to make a specific finding that no other alternative is better than committing a juvenile to the Department of Juvenile Corrections or a private institution. 5. It allows the court to order a juvenile to pay a monetary assessment or perform community restitution, and provides guidelines for how these obligations can be satisfied. 6. It includes various other provisions related to the supervision and treatment of juveniles under the court's jurisdiction.
