Juvenile crime; revise provisions related to.

Summary

The bill moves certain violent offenses committed by youths with firearms from youth court to circuit court, limits juvenile criminal responsibility for children under 13, and makes parents civilly liable for those kids. It also creates new felony penalties for possessing or transferring stolen firearms and for shooting into a group of people, with higher punishments for attacks in sensitive locations, against minors, or by gang or terrorist members. The changes aim to strengthen public safety and hold adults accountable for youth misconduct.
