AN ACT CONCERNING DISCRETIONARY TRANSFER FROM JUVENILE COURT TO ADULT COURT.
FILE NO. 592
Summary
The measure automatically sends children 15 or older who are charged with capital, class A or class B felonies (or certain violations) to the adult criminal docket, where they are tried as adults. It also lets prosecutors request transfers for other serious offenses, but requires a court hearing and a finding that the child’s best interests and public safety are better served in adult court. The bill outlines how cases can be moved back to juvenile court and how sentencing and custody are handled after a transfer.
