Overview
Modifies requirements and procedures of the juvenile court relating to jurisdiction.
History
Statute requires the juvenile court to retain jurisdiction of a child obtained by the court for the purposes of implementing the orders made and filed in a proceeding, until the child becomes 18 years old, unless: 1) the jurisdiction is terminated by order of the court before that time; or 2) the state files a notice of intent to retain jurisdiction over the juvenile who is at least 17 years old and who has been adjudicated a delinquent juvenile until the juvenile reaches 19 years old, with specified exceptions. Statute also requires the juvenile court to retain jurisdiction after a juvenile becomes 18 years old for the purpose of designating an undesignated felony offense as a misdemeanor or felony, even after an adjudication is set aside (A.R.S. § 8-202).
Juvenile intensive probation is a program of highly structured and closely supervised juvenile probation that emphasizes surveillance, treatment, work, education and home detention (A.R.S. § 8-351). Juvenile intensive probation may include: 1) home arrest and electronic monitoring; 2) incarceration in a juvenile detention center; or 3) commitment to the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (A.R.S. § 8-341).
Statute allows the term of juvenile probation to continue until the juvenile becomes 18 years old or, if jurisdiction is retained, 19 years old. However, statute requires that juvenile probation only exceed one year if specified requirements have been met (A.R.S. § 8-341).
