Revise criminal defendant “youthful trainee status”

Introduced in the House

May 20, 2014

Introduced by Rep. Kurt Heise (R-20)

To require that if a criminal defendant assigned to “youthful trainee status” (which provides a mechanism for not including an offense on the youth’s permanent record) is convicted with a serious felony listed in the bill, the “trainee” status must be revoked (which means the previous crime also goes on the person’s record).
