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. This is one of several bills to no longer automatically treat minors who commit certain crimes as adults, and is part of a broader "raise the age" juvenile justice reform effort.
Referred to the Committee on Law and Justice
Reported without amendment
