Senate Bill 108 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure and Education Code to expand the conditions under which the records of a person under 17 years of age may be expunged and to expand eligibility for teen court program participation. The bill redefines "child" for purposes of the criminal procedure applicable to school offenses and expands the types of officers prohibited from issuing a citation to a child who is alleged to have committed a school offense. The bill authorizes a complaint alleging the commission of a school offense to include a school employee's recommendation that the child attend a teen court program.
