AN ACT
To repeal section 211.041, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to juvenile court jurisdiction.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 211.041, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 211.041, to read as follows:
211.041. 1. When jurisdiction over the person of a child has been acquired by the juvenile court under the provisions of this chapter in proceedings coming within the applicable provisions of section 211.031, the jurisdiction of the child may be retained for the purpose of this chapter until he or she has attained the age of twenty-one years, except:
(1) In cases where he or she is committed to and received by the division of youth services, unless jurisdiction has been returned to the committing court by provisions of chapter 219 through requests of the court to the division of youth services [and except] ;
(2) In any case where he or she has not paid an assessment imposed in accordance with section 211.181 or in cases where the judgment for restitution entered in accordance with section 211.185 has not been satisfied; or
(3) In any case where he or she has been admitted to a mental health facility based on two psychiatric evaluations of the child by two mental health professionals not affiliated with each other which result in recommendations by both mental health professionals for admittance to a mental health facility for treatment. For purposes of this subdivision, the juvenile court shall have the authority to order such psychiatric evaluations on the court's own motion or at the request of any party to proceedings under this chapter, and to order the child be admitted to a mental health facility for treatment.
2. Every child over whose person the juvenile court retains jurisdiction under this section shall be prosecuted under the general law for any violation of a state law or of a municipal ordinance which he or she commits after he or she becomes seventeen years of age. The juvenile court shall have no jurisdiction with respect to any such violation and, so long as it retains jurisdiction of the child, shall not exercise its jurisdiction in such a manner as to conflict with any other court's jurisdiction as to any such violation.
