SB 716- This act makes two changes to the Juvenile Crime
Bill passed as CCS/SS/SCS/HB 174 in 1995. These changes are: 1)
the elimination of racial disparity as a factor that the court
must consider in deciding whether to certify a child as an adult;
and 2) the repeal of language that allowed the court to commit a
juvenile offender, who is not certified, to a minimum length of
commitment with the Division of Youth Services.
