AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to revise the definition of "juvenile offender" to include individuals under 18 years of age, but not younger than 10 years of age, who have been adjudicated within the purview of the Juvenile Corrections Act. However, the term "juvenile offender" will also include any person under 10 years of age who commits the crime of murder in the first or second degree. Additionally, the bill revises a provision regarding jurisdiction, providing an exception to the court's exclusive original jurisdiction for juveniles younger than 10 years of age who commit acts that would otherwise be a crime if committed by an adult, allowing for appropriate corrective action to be taken by the county prosecutor.
