S06326 Relates to proceedings involving adolescent offenders and the possession or use of weapons; provides for the access of applicable records; expands the meaning of extraordinary circumstances to include when the defendant is accused of an offense involving the use, possession, or display of a firearm, shotgun, rifle or other deadly weapon.

Direction

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill addresses adolescent offender proceedings specifically when they involve firearms or deadly weapons. It expands access to prior juvenile records and broadens 'extraordinary circumstances' and related criteria to make it harder for firearm-related cases to be transferred to family court, resulting in more restrictive treatment for firearm possession/use by adolescents under the firearms topic. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
