AN ACT CONCERNING JUVENILE JUSTICE.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:

That the general statutes concerning juvenile justice be amended to (1) apply police requirements with respect to missing children to all children under eighteen years of age, rather than children under fifteen years of age as currently provided; (2) amend the requirement that police notify the school district where a child or youth resides of an arrest to include the school district in which the child or youth attends school, and make changes regarding the confidentiality of such information; (3) clarify that the Department of Children and Families' responsibility for committed children and youth ends at twenty years of age; (4) make necessary conforming changes to ensure that current provisions remain in effect when seventeen year olds are included in the juvenile justice system; (5) authorize a judge to order, on a case by case basis, disclosure of juvenile delinquency records to specified persons, including victims; (6) add the crimes of strangulation in the first and second degree and home invasion to the list of serious juvenile offenses, and (7) add the offense of evading responsibility for an accident that results in serious physical injury or death to the list of offenses that require notification to be provided to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Statement of Purpose:

To make minor, conforming and technical changes to juvenile justice provisions.
