Bill Analysis
Under current law, the age of criminal responsibility relating to juvenile courts ranges from 10 through 16. If this bill passes, it would expand that range to 10 through 17 so that anyone aged 10-17 who commits an offense would be adjudicated through the juvenile justice system. This bill would update several parts of the code to reflect this age increase to all the rules governing youth, family, and transportation codes.
