Bill Summary

Altering the jurisdiction of the juvenile court to establish that the juvenile court has exclusive original jurisdiction over a child who is at least 10 years old alleged to have committed a crime involving the use or possession of a firearm; and altering a certain provision of law authorizing a law enforcement officer to conduct an otherwise lawful custodial interrogation of a child if the child's parent, guardian, or custodian consents to the custodial interrogation of the child without the child's consultation with an attorney.

AI Summary

This bill, the Juvenile Justice Restoration Act of 2024, aims to make several changes to juvenile court jurisdiction and custodial interrogations. Notably, it establishes that the juvenile court has exclusive original jurisdiction over children aged 10 or older who are alleged to have committed a crime involving the use or possession of a firearm. Additionally, it allows law enforcement to conduct a custodial interrogation of a child if the child's parent, guardian, or custodian consents, without the child first consulting an attorney. The bill also provides guidance on recording such interrogations and introduces a rebuttable presumption that statements made during unconsented interrogations are inadmissible in court.
