This bill would extend the jurisdiction of the juvenile court to those who are between 12 and 19 years of age, inclusive. This bill would provide that the juvenile court may maintain jurisdiction over a person until the person attains 24 years of age.

This bill would, among other things, limit probation to only those behaviors that are necessary for public safety and specifically related to individual risk factors, and would require minors to receive individualized family-centered, strength-based case plans when adjudged probation. This bill would make additional conforming changes.
