SB 5746: Sentencing juveniles/crimes

Modifying sentencing provisions for juveniles adjudicated of certain crimes.

Summary

  • Allows the juvenile court to have jurisdiction over a juvenile, even if the juvenile has previously been the subject of adult court jurisdiction as a result of a decline hearing, if in adult court the juvenile is either acquitted of the offense charged or convicted of a lesser offense.
  • Allows the prosecutor and the respondent, by agreement, and with the court's approval, to waive the exclusive adult court jurisdiction triggered by certain offenses when the juvenile is age 16 or 17 years.
  • Excludes juveniles age 15 years from mandatory decline hearings.
  • Adds periods of community supervision or parole supervision to the maximum sentence for a juvenile convicted of a felony motor vehicle offense.
