Youth court jurisdiction; exclude youth previously adjudicated delinquent for committing certain acts with firearm.

Summary

The bill would change Mississippi law so that a child who has already been found delinquent for a firearm‑related felony and then commits another firearm felony would be tried in the circuit court instead of the youth court. It also confirms that the circuit court already handles the most serious offenses, such as those punishable by life imprisonment or death. The change would affect juveniles charged with repeat firearm felonies and the courts that process those cases.
