Modifying provisions relating to orders of disposition for juveniles.
Summary
Permits a juvenile to request a deferred disposition less than two weeks before trial if the juvenile demonstrates good cause for the request.
Permits the court to vacate a conviction entered pursuant to a deferred disposition if the juvenile has not paid restitution in full but has made good faith efforts to comply with restitution requirements.
Requires the court to set an administrative hearing to seal a successful deferred disposition if restitution has been paid in full and the court has vacated the conviction entered under the deferred disposition proceeding.
Requires the court to grant a motion to seal a deferred disposition completed before the effective date of this act if the person making the motion is 18 years of age or older and restitution has been paid in full.
Clarifies that dispositions for two or more offenses in a single disposition order are to be imposed consecutively, and that periods of community supervision imposed in multiple disposition orders are to be imposed concurrently while multiple disposition orders of detention are imposed consecutively within certain limits.
Makes technical changes to the standard-range disposition grid in the juvenile justice code for clarity and to reflect recent changes in statute, which eliminates the distinction in the juvenile justice code between levels of Third Degree Malicious Mischief offenses based upon the value of the damage caused.
