HB 1322: Juvenile offenses

Improving outcomes for individuals adjudicated of juvenile offenses by increasing opportunities for community placement options and refining procedural requirements.

Summary

  • Requires the court to make an independent finding supported by clear and convincing evidence that commitment to juvenile rehabilitation is needed because a community-based placement would not adequately protect the community before committing a juvenile to a juvenile rehabilitation institution for certain offenses.
  • Expands eligibility for juvenile disposition alternatives, removes certain requirements related to juvenile community facilities, and modifies provisions related to juvenile rehabilitation institutions.
