Establishes the offense of permitting, encouraging, aiding, or causing a minor to commit an offense

HB 2808 makes it a crime for a parent to knowingly permit, encourage, aid, or cause a minor (under 18) to commit a violation of state or federal law. If the minor commits a felony, the parent faces a Class A misdemeanor; if the minor commits a misdemeanor, the parent faces a Class C misdemeanor. Each separate act by the parent constitutes a distinct offense, and courts may order the parent to pay restitution to victims harmed by the minor's crime. This law directly affects parents whose actions directly facilitate a minor's criminal behavior, adding new penalties and victim compensation mechanisms.
