Juvenile offenders, delinquent acts for purposes of juvenile proceedings further provided for

HB 492 amends the definition of a "delinquent act" within juvenile proceedings. The bill specifies that nonfelony offenses or water safety offenses committed by a child 14 or 15 years of age, excluding driving or operating a vessel under the influence, will no longer be classified as delinquent acts. This change affects how these specific actions by children in that age group are handled within the juvenile justice system.
