This bill changes what sentences a judge can impose on children found delinquent for stealing a firearm. Currently, judges must use the "least restrictive alternative" available, but this bill allows judges to commit children convicted of firearm theft directly to the Department of Corrections instead of limiting sentences to probation, fines, restitution, or community service.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
