Removes local share requirements for increasing juvenile jurisdiction age.

This bill amends the state finance law to eliminate local share requirements for counties and the city of New York related to increasing the age of juvenile jurisdiction above fifteen years. It allows the state budget director to waive these requirements if a county or the city of New York demonstrates financial hardship. The waiver decision will consider factors such as the incremental cost of raising the juvenile jurisdiction age, changes in state or federal aid, and other extraordinary costs.
