AN ACT relating to criminal justice.

Summary

The bill lets a juvenile who receives a dispositional order in a district court appeal that decision to the circuit court, unless the law specifically exempts the case. The appeal must follow the existing criminal procedure rules and be heard quickly, with the circuit court required to consider the child's best interests. This change aims to provide clearer, faster appellate review for young offenders.
