Bipartisan House sponsors unveil Young Offenders Rehabilitation Act

RALEIGH — A bipartisan group in the N.C. House has introduced legislation that would transfer misdemeanor offenses by 16- and 17-year-olds from adult courts to the juvenile system.

Supporters touted House Bill 399, the Young Offenders Rehabilitation Act, during a Tuesday afternoon news conference. North Carolina is one of just two states that automatically prosecute all 16- and 17-year-old misdemeanor defendants as adults, even for the lowest-level offenses.

A 2013 report for the John Locke Foundation spelled out the potential benefits of raising the age of juvenile jurisdiction.
