This bill amends section 43-245 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, which pertains to definitions within the Nebraska Juvenile Code. A significant change is the redefinition of "young adult," which is now specified as an individual older than eighteen years of age but younger than twenty-one years of age. This adjustment clarifies the age range for young adults in the context of juvenile justice.

Additionally, the bill includes the repeal of the original section 43-245, indicating a complete overhaul of the definitions provided in that section. The amendments aim to enhance the clarity and applicability of terms used in juvenile justice proceedings, ensuring that the legal framework is up-to-date and reflective of current societal standards.
