Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds possession of a loaded firearm during an offense as a factor that prevents transfer of an adolescent offender case from adult criminal court to family court. This is a firearms-related change to juvenile justice procedure that increases the likelihood of adult prosecution for firearm possession in such cases.
