AI Summary

This bill enacts the "Extended Juvenile Jurisdiction Act," which establishes a juvenile justice pilot program in Shelby County. The bill amends Tennessee law to create a new category of "extended juvenile jurisdiction offenders" for certain serious offenses committed by juveniles, such as first-degree murder. These offenders would have a "blended" sentencing approach, where they could receive both juvenile and adult sentences, with the adult sentence suspended pending the juvenile's completion of the juvenile disposition. The bill also outlines procedures for determining a juvenile's competency, fitness to proceed, and capacity to commit the alleged offense, as well as designation, adjudication, and review hearings for extended juvenile jurisdiction offenders.
