AN ACT RELATING TO COURTS AND CIVIL PROCEDURE -- COURTS -- FAMILY COURT

Summary

The bill creates a pilot statewide coordinator to support juvenile hearing boards and teen courts across Rhode Island, setting standards for training, data collection, and community service programs. It also authorizes those boards to require juveniles to attend accredited rehabilitative driving courses, with tuition covered unless the youth cannot pay. The measures aim to improve juvenile case handling while limiting boards from hearing serious felony cases without higher court approval.
