What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the original jurisdiction of a court of criminal jurisdiction

over a juvenile who is alleged to have 1) committed assault or battery while placed

in a juvenile correctional facility; 2) committed first-degree or second-degree

intentional homicide or first-degree reckless homicide on or after the juvenile's tenth

birthday; 3) violated any state criminal law, if the juvenile has previously been

convicted of a crime either under the original jurisdiction of a court of criminal

jurisdiction or following a waiver of jurisdiction by a court assigned to exercise

jurisdiction under the Juvenile Justice Code (juvenile court). Under the bill, a

juvenile who is alleged to have committed any of those violations on or after the

effective date of the bill is subject to the jurisdiction of the juvenile court.
