COURT REORGANIZATION S.B. 1045: FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 1045 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Senator Mike Rogers
Committee: Judiciary
The bill would amend the Juvenile Facilities Act to specify that “juvenile” would mean a person within the jurisdiction of the juvenile division of the probate court (juvenile court) or the proposed “family division of circuit court” (family court), which would be established by Senate Bill 1052. Under the bill, “juvenile facility” would mean a county facility; an institution operated as an agency of the county, the juvenile court, or the proposed family court; or a State institution or agency described in the Youth Rehabilitation Services Act.
In addition, where the Act currently refers to a juvenile within the jurisdiction of the circuit court (i.e., a juvenile tried and convicted as an adult, but committed to a juvenile facility), the bill would refer to a juvenile within the “general criminal” jurisdiction of the circuit court (which would distinguish those individuals from juveniles within the jurisdiction of the proposed family court).
The bill is tie-barred to House Bill 5158.
