Modifies provisions relating to the certification of a juvenile for trial as an adult
Second read and referred: Judiciary and Civil and Criminal Jurisprudence(S)
Summary
HB 2498 would replace three existing statutes with new provisions that require law‑enforcement agencies to submit arrest and charge data to a central repository and to fingerprint juveniles taken into custody for offenses that would be felonies if committed by an adult. It also sets procedures for fingerprinting after a juvenile is certified to be tried as an adult and outlines how records are to be handled if the juvenile is later acquitted. The bill failed to pass and did not become law.
