SB 5652: Juvenile sentencing reform

Implementing recommendations of the joint legislative task force on juvenile sentencing reform.

Summary

Exclusive adult court jurisdiction is eliminated, and in these circumstances, a court must hold a decline hearing – unless waived by the courts, the parties, and their counsel – and consider individualized criteria in determining whether to decline juvenile jurisdiction to the offender. Discretionary decline hearings are restricted to juveniles age 14 and older.
