This bill establishes penalties for parents or legal guardians of juveniles who demonstrate willful or wanton disregard in supervising their children, leading to delinquent behavior. Specifically, if a juvenile is adjudicated delinquent for engaging in improper behavior that results in property damage, the parent or guardian may face a fine of $1,000. Additionally, if the juvenile is adjudicated for a first offense of inciting a public brawl, the parent or guardian could be guilty of a petty disorderly persons offense, while a second or subsequent offense would result in a disorderly persons offense for the parent or guardian.

The penalties outlined in the bill include potential imprisonment and fines, with a disorderly persons offense carrying a maximum of six months in prison and a $1,000 fine, and a petty disorderly persons offense carrying up to 30 days in prison and a $500 fine. The bill aims to hold parents and guardians accountable for their supervision of minors, particularly in relation to public disturbances and delinquent acts.
