SB 5614: Diversion agreements

Concerning diversion agreements and counsel and release agreements.

Summary

  • Changes the filing criteria for criminal charges against a juvenile by removing the cap that a history of three or more diversions requires the prosecutor to file the charge.
  • Requires the destruction of a juvenile's criminal record when they reach 18 years of age if the record consists only of completed diversion, counsel, and release agreements; the agreements were completed after this bill becomes effective; and all restitution is paid.
  • Preserves existing authority to destroy diversion and counsel and release agreements or seal them as otherwise provided by law.
