2019 House Bill 4135 ↩

Senate Roll Call 253: Passed

To raise from age 17 to 18 the minimum age at which offenders are eligible for criminal defendant “youthful trainee status,” which provides a mechanism for not including the offense on a youth’s permanent record. The bill would also expand the types of sex crimes that make an offender ineligible for this treatment. This is one of a number of bills that have been offered as part of a "raise the age" juvenile justice effort.
