Bill > SCR001

This concurrent resolution authorizes the adult sentencing and supervision length guidelines and juvenile disposition guidelines prepared by the Utah Sentencing Commission and submitted to the Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Interim Committee and the Judiciary Interim Committee. According to Utah Code Section 63M-7-406, the Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice is required to annually submit these guidelines for review and legislative authorization. The guidelines provide recommendations for sentencing and supervision for criminal offenses and clarify practices and procedures for juvenile dispositions. Specifically, the resolution approves the guidelines submitted on November 14, 2024, for the 2025 General Session, with the Legislature and Governor formally authorizing their implementation. This process ensures a standardized and structured approach to criminal sentencing and juvenile justice practices within the state of Utah.
