HB 21-1091 CO Became Law
Sentencing Juveniles Transferred To Adult Court
A state bill is a proposed law in a state legislature — separate from the U.S. Congress. Learn more →
Summary
Under current law, a juvenile convicted as an adult following the direct filing of charges in district court is not subject to the mandatory minimum sentencing provisions for crimes of violence. However, a juvenile convicted as an adult following the transfer of charges from juvenile court to district court is subject to the mandatory minimum sentencing for crimes of violence. The act adds language to the juvenile transfer statute to mirror the language currently found in the juvenile direct file statutes, so a juvenile transferred to adult court is subject to the same sentencing provisions as a juvenile who is in adult court based on a direct file.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
