To revise the factors a court must consider when determining whether to try as an adult a juvenile accused of a serious crime. The bill would eliminate a requirement that the court give greater weight to the seriousness of the crime and the juvenile's prior record than to other criteria. This is one of several bills in a broader "raise the age" juvenile justice reform effort that would no longer automatically treat minors who commit certain crimes as adults.
Referred to the Committee on Law and Justice
Reported without amendment
