Bill Summary

For legislation to expand juvenile court jurisdiction and district court diversion. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill expands juvenile court jurisdiction and district court diversion programs by increasing the age of eligibility from 18 to 21 years old across various sections of Massachusetts law. The bill amends several chapters of the General Laws, including those related to juvenile offenders, criminal records, and probation, to raise the age limit for these programs and services. This change is intended to provide more opportunities for young adults to receive appropriate interventions and support through the juvenile justice system rather than being treated as adults.
