What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person 17 years of age or older who is alleged to have violated a civil law or municipal ordinance is subject to the jurisdiction and procedures of the circuit court or, if applicable, the municipal court, while a person under 17 years of age who is alleged to have violated a civil law or municipal ordinance, subject to certain exceptions, is subject to the jurisdiction and procedures of the court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under the Juvenile Justice Code. This bill raises from 17 to 18 the age at which a person who is alleged to have violated a civil law or municipal ordinance is subject to the jurisdiction and procedures of the circuit court or, if applicable, the municipal court.
Under current law, a juvenile adjudged to have committed a civil law or municipal ordinance violation, including a habitual truancy violation, who violates a condition of his or her dispositional order is subject to various sanctions, including placement in a juvenile detention facility or a place of nonsecure custody for not more than 10 days. This bill eliminates placement in a juvenile detention facility as a sanction for a violation of a civil law or ordinance violation dispositional order.
