Bill Summary
Promoting diversion of juveniles to community supervision and services
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote the diversion of juveniles to community supervision and services. It amends the existing law to specify the criteria under which a child is eligible for diversion. The key provisions are: (1) a child is ineligible for diversion if they are indicted as a youthful offender, charged with an offense that cannot be continued without a finding or placed on file, or charged with an offense with a penalty of incarceration greater than 5 years or a minimum term penalty of incarceration, with some exceptions; and (2) diversion of juvenile court charges does not preclude a subsequent indictment on the same charges in superior court.
