| TO: | Honorable Harold V. Dutton, Jr., Chair, House Committee on Juvenile Justice & Family Issues |
| FROM: | John McGeady, Assistant Director Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board |
| IN RE: | HB1364 by Wu (Relating to the age of a child at which a juvenile court may exercise jurisdiction over the child and to the minimum age of criminal responsibility.), As Introduced |
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend various codes to raise the minimum age from 10 to 12 at which a person may be subject to the jurisdiction of a juvenile court.
This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on adult correctional populations or on the demand for adult state correctional resources. The bill does not expressly create a criminal offense, increase the punishment for an existing criminal offense or category of offenses, or change the eligibility of an adult for community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
