Bill > SB7010

This bill amends Tennessee's juvenile justice laws to require certain juvenile offenders aged 16 or older who are alleged to have committed specific crimes, such as theft of a firearm or other offenses involving a firearm, to be transferred to adult criminal court for prosecution. The bill outlines the criteria for this transfer, including a probable cause hearing and a finding that the juvenile is not committable to an institution for the developmentally disabled or mentally ill. The bill also specifies that the district attorney general cannot seek the death penalty or mandatory life without parole for the transferred juvenile.
