Kansas HB2350 prohibits prosecuting juveniles under 18 as adults.
Kansas HB2350 amends the state's juvenile justice code to ensure no juvenile under 18 is prosecuted as an adult. Instead, the court must consider specific factors before authorizing adult prosecution. If adult prosecution is not authorized, the case proceeds as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution. The juvenile retains rights such as a jury trial and effective assistance of counsel. The act repeals the previous law on this matter and takes effect upon publication.
