Juvenile offenders, delinquent acts for purposes of juvenile proceedings further provided for

Summary

The bill changes Alabama law so that a non-felony traffic or water‑safety violation committed by a 14- or 15-year-old—except DUI or operating a vessel while intoxicated—is no longer considered a delinquent act in juvenile court. Such offenses will be handled outside the juvenile system, reducing the court's involvement in minor cases. This aims to focus juvenile resources on more serious offenses.
