Massachusetts H1695 aims to promote diversion of juveniles to community supervision and services.
Massachusetts H1695 amends the General Laws to promote the diversion of juveniles to community supervision and services. The bill modifies Section 54A of Chapter 119 to prevent law enforcement and criminal justice agencies from transmitting fingerprints and records of juvenile arrests to federal authorities for offenses occurring before the services. It also mandates consultation with legal counsel before disqualifying a child from diversion and ensures that cases diverted by a district attorney are not considered criminal complaints.
