Rhode Island S2125 removes mandatory certification for individuals 16 or older found delinquent for two offenses after age 16.

Rhode Island S2125 amends the General Laws to remove the mandatory certification for an individual 16 years or older found delinquent for two offenses after the age of 16, which would render the person subject to an indictment if they were an adult. Previously, such individuals were required to be certified, but this bill changes the law to eliminate that requirement. The changes take effect upon passage.
