HB 3413 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to certified juveniles

HB 3413 modifies Missouri's juvenile justice system by establishing clear criteria for when a child aged 12-18 may be transferred to adult court for serious offenses. It requires courts to hold a hearing and consider specific factors - such as the offense's severity (including murder, drug manufacturing, or violent crimes), prior offenses, and community safety - before transferring a case. The bill directly affects juveniles charged with certain felonies (like first-degree murder or drug distribution) or repeat offenses, and juvenile courts handling these cases. Key provisions include mandatory hearings for specified offenses, allowing evidence obtained during age misrepresentation to be used, and requiring written reports detailing rehabilitation prospects before transfer decisions.
