PAG LIN 1 1 Section 1. Section 232.8, subsection 3, Code 1999, is 1 2 amended to read as follows: 1 3 3. The juvenile court, after a hearing and in accordance 1 4 with the provisions of section 232.45, may waive jurisdiction 1 5 of a child alleged to have committed a public offense so that 1 6 the child may be prosecuted as an adult or youthful offender 1 7 for such offense in another court. If the child, except a 1 8 child being prosecuted as a youthful offender, pleads guilty 1 9 or is found guilty of a public offense other than a class "A" 1 10 felony in another court of this state that court may suspend 1 11 the sentence or, with the consent of the child, defer judgment 1 12 and without regard to restrictions placed upon deferred 1 13 judgments for adults, place the child on probation for a 1 14 period of not less than one year upon such conditions as it 1 15 may require. Upon fulfillment of the conditions of probation 1 16the, a child who receives a deferred judgement shall be 1 17 discharged without entry of judgment. 1 18 EXPLANATION 1 19 This bill makes changes relating to the prosecution of 1 20 juvenile offenders in district court. 1 21 The bill provides the district court with the option to 1 22 suspend a sentence of a juvenile offender who has been waived 1 23 to adult court except for a juvenile who commits a class "A" 1 24 felony. The bill also provides that a juvenile waived to 1 25 adult court may not receive a deferred judgment for a class 1 26 "A" felony. Under existing law, the district court may 1 27 suspend the sentence of an adult offender under certain 1 28 statutes but is unable to suspend the sentence of any juvenile 1 29 offender waived to adult court. Existing law also permits a 1 30 court to grant a deferred judgment to a juvenile waived to 1 31 adult court for a class "A" felony. 1 32 LSB 5854HH 78 1 33 jm/as/5
