Summary

AB 1647 proposes to amend the rules that govern when and how a juvenile case can be moved to adult criminal court. It would affect juveniles charged with crimes, the courts that handle those cases, and potentially the victims of those offenses. The change matters because it could alter the balance between juvenile rehabilitation and adult prosecution.
