CRIMINAL LAW-TECH

This law creates a new program within the Department of Juvenile Justice designed specifically for young adults aged 18 to 22 who are currently held in adult correctional facilities. It allows eligible individuals to be transferred to juvenile facilities to participate in these emerging adult programs, provided the move follows specific federal guidelines. The transfer process requires written approval from the directors of both the Juvenile Justice and Corrections departments, and the two agencies must create an agreement to set rules for who qualifies and how transfers are handled.
