AB 514

Under current law, a court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under the Juvenile

Justice Code may enter a dispositional order that requires a juvenile to participate

in the Serious Juvenile Offender Program if the juvenile has committed certain

felony crimes. The Serious Juvenile Offender Program provides a juvenile with

supervision, care, and rehabilitation that is more restrictive than ordinary

supervision in the community and includes component phases that are intensive,

highly structured, and based on public safety considerations and the participant's

need for supervision, care, and rehabilitation.

This bill adds first and second degree reckless injury and first and second

degree recklessly endangering safety to the crimes that qualify a juvenile for

participation in the Serious Juvenile Offender Program.
