JUVENILE JUSTICE REVISIONS H.B. 4371 (H-3): FLOOR ANALYSIS
House Bill 4371 (Substitute H-3 as reported without amendment) Sponsor: Representative Jim McBryde
House Committee: Judiciary and Civil Rights Senate Committee: Judiciary
The bill would amend the Youth Rehabilitation Services Act to expand the list of offenses for which a juvenile, adjudicated in juvenile court as a juvenile, may be retained in juvenile commitment until the age of 21. The bill would add the following offenses to that list:
-- Assault with intent to maim.
-- First-degree home invasion.
-- Escape from a juvenile facility (as proposed by Senate Bill 870).
-- Robbery of a bank, safe, or vault.
The bill also specifies that, if the juvenile court imposed a delayed sentence after a criminal conviction, as Senate Bill 682 (H-3) would allow, a youth would have to be discharged from State wardship and be committed under the court’s order, pursuant to the delayed sentencing provisions of Senate Bill 682 (H-3). If a court of general criminal jurisdiction sentenced a youth, who was tried as an adult and committed to a juvenile facility, to a further adult sanction, as Senate Bill 699 (H-3) would allow, the youth would have to be discharged from State wardship and committed under that court’s order.
The bill would take effect on January 1, 1997, and is tie-barred to House Bills 4037, 4038, 4044, 4445, 4486, 4487, and 4490, and Senate Bills 281, 283, 682, 689, 699, 700, 724, 867, and 870.
