Providing that no juvenile less than 18 years of age shall be prosecuted as an adult.
HB 2350 prohibits prosecuting any juvenile under 18 as an adult in Kansas. It directly affects all individuals under 18 accused of crimes, removing the possibility of adult criminal prosecution regardless of offense severity. The bill amends Kansas law to state explicitly that "no juvenile less than 18 years of age shall be prosecuted as an adult" and repeals the previous section allowing such prosecutions. This eliminates the court process for prosecutors to request adult prosecution for minors under 18, ensuring all juveniles under 18 remain under juvenile court jurisdiction.
