This bill amends section 43-245 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, which pertains to definitions within the Nebraska Juvenile Code. The primary change involves the redefinition of the term "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 aims to clarify the age range that constitutes a young adult in the context of juvenile justice.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision to repeal the original section 43-245, thereby updating the legal framework to reflect the new definition. The changes are intended to enhance the understanding and application of the juvenile justice system in Nebraska, ensuring that the terminology used aligns with current societal standards and practices.
