Expands the definition of 'extraordinary circumstances' to include accusations of offenses involving firearms or deadly weapons, making it easier for such cases to remain in adult youth part rather than being transferred to family court, and adds prior weapon offenses as a basis for that finding.
the court may find extraordinary circumstances where the defendant is accused of an offense involving the use, possession, or display of a firearm, shotgun, rifle or other deadly weapon.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill addresses adolescent offender proceedings specifically when they involve possession or use of firearms or deadly weapons. It expands 'extraordinary circumstances' that prevent transfer to family court to include such weapon offenses (including priors), and removes the 'in furtherance of the offense' qualifier for weapon use/possession/display. This makes it harder for firearm-related cases to be handled in family court (more adult-like treatment), which restricts the firearms axis by increasing consequences and barriers for firearm-involved adolescent offenses.
