TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the family court act and the criminal procedure law, in
relation to juvenile delinquency charges of violations in the family
court

This is one in a series of measures being introduced at the request of
the Chief Administrative Judge upon the recommendation of his Family
Court Advisory and Rules Committee.

This measure would amend sections 304.1, 350.1, 352.2 and 360.3 of the
Family Court Act (FCA) to provide that 16- and 17-year olds may not be
securely detained, may not be placed on probation and may not be placed
out of their homes as a disposition. If granted a conditional discharge
as a disposition in such a case, such a youth charged with a violation
of the conditional discharge may not be subject to secure detention
pending adjudication of the violation or placement upon a finding. Addi-
tional conditions, e.g., restitution, community service or participation
in a particular program may be added as conditions, but neither
detention nor placement would be permissible consequences. The measure
would also provide that in such a case, there would be a rebuttable

presumption that the matter would be dismissed for lack of a need for
treatment, supervision or confinement (FCA § 352.1), referred for
adjustment (FCA § 320.6) or adjourned in contemplation of dismissal (FCA
§ 315.3). Further, the measure amends subdivision one of section 301.2
and subdivision three of section 302.1 of the FCA to eliminate any
possible ambiguity regarding the fact that the jurisdiction over petty
offenses in juvenile delinquency cases applies only to 16- and 17- year
olds who were charged as juvenile delinquents in Family Court or were
originally charged as adolescent offenders and had their cases removed
from the Youth Part to Family Court. Finally, Criminal Procedure Law §
510.15 would be amended to preclude secure detention of a 16- or 17-year
old whose sole charge is a violation.

The recently enacted legislation raising the age of criminal responsi-
bility in New York amends the definition of juvenile delinquency (FCA §
301.2(1)), marking the first time that Family Courts will have jurisdic-
tion over alleged violations (petty offenses), as defined in subdivision
three of section 10.00 of the Penal Law. See L.2017, c. 59, Pt. www.
Prior to the new statute, an act of juvenile delinquency was defined as
an act that would be a crime if committed by an adult. The new jurisdic-
tion is limited to 16- and 17-year olds and is only applicable where the
violation arises out of the same transaction or occurrence as an alleged
crime, that is, a misdemeanor commencing in Family Court or a felony
removed to Family Court. Where an adolescent offender case is prosecuted
in the Youth Part under Article 722 of the Criminal Procedure Law, a
violation that is part of the same transaction or occurrence as a crimi-
nal charge may be heard with that charge. In all other cases, violations
will continue to be heard by local criminal courts.

Some cases of older adolescents in Family Court that involve crimes and
violations charged together may result in an adjudication or in a plea
only to the violation. It would contravene the ameliorative goals of the
statute raising the age of criminal responsibility if adolescents in
such cases faced penalties greater than those that they would have faced
had they been prosecuted in a local criminal court.  This measure would
ensure that adolescents adjudicated for violations (petty offenses) or
charged with, or adjudicated for, violations of conditional discharges
would not be adversely affected by chapter 59 of the Laws of 2017. Prior
to the effective date of the raise-the-age statute, 16- and 17- year old
offenders convicted of violations would have been subject only to
sentences of conditional or unconditional discharge, jail up to 15 days,
and/or a fine of up to $250. Likewise, under current law, 16- and
17-year old offenders charged solely with violations continue to have
their cases heard in local criminal courts and continue to be subject to
the same limitations on penalties. Subdivision three of section 10.00 of
the Penal Law defines a "violation" as "an offense, other than a 'traf-
fic infraction,' for which a sentence to a term of imprisonment in
excess of fifteen days cannot be imposed." Penal Law § 65.00(1)(a)
requires conviction of a "crime," not merely a "violation," for imposi-
tion of a probation sentence and Penal Law § 65.05(1)(a) authorizes
sentences of conditional discharge for up to one year for violations.

By not imposing penalties greater than those which are warranted by the
level of adjudication, this measure would be consistent with widely-ac-
cepted research in the juvenile justice field. The "risk principle"
delineated in the Final Report of the Governor's Commission on Youth,
Public Safety and Justice (2015) at 20, provides that:

 
Services and supervision should be provided in direct proportion to an
offender's risk of reoffending, with lower-risk youth receiving less-in-
tensive interventions and higher-risk youth receiving interventions of
higher intensity. It also warns against placing youth in settings that
are more restrictive than necessary for their actual level of risk,
which can yield counterproductive results in terms of increased recidiv-
ism.   
FOOTNOTE OMITTED. According to this principle, more restrictive
programming and supervision should be concentrated on higher-risk youth.

Enactment of this measure is thus warranted, not only by the need to
foreclose greater punishment than is possible under current law, but
also from a purely practical vantage-point, i.e., to protect the public
from the recidivism that may result from over-intervention in cases of
adjudications for conduct that does not rise to the level of a crime.

The measure, which would have no fiscal impact, would take effect imme-
diately.

   § 12. Subdivision 1 of section 510.15 of the criminal  procedure  law,
 as  amended by section 36 of part WWW of chapter 59 of the laws of 2017,
 is amended to read as follows:
   1. When a principal who is under the age of sixteen  is  committed  to
 the  custody  of the sheriff the court must direct that the principal be
 taken to and lodged in a place certified by the office of  children  and
 family  services  as  a juvenile detention facility for the reception of
 children.  When a principal who (a) commencing October first, two  thou-
 sand eighteen, is sixteen years of age; or (b) commencing October first,
 two  thousand nineteen, is sixteen or seventeen years of age, is commit-
 ted to the custody of the sheriff, the court must direct that the  prin-
 cipal be taken to and lodged in a place certified by the office of chil-
 dren  and  family  services  in conjunction with the state commission of
 correction as a specialized secure juvenile detention facility for older
 youth.  Where such a direction is made the  sheriff  shall  deliver  the
 principal  in accordance therewith and such person shall although lodged
 and cared for in a juvenile detention facility continue to be deemed  to
 be  in  the custody of the sheriff. No principal under the age specified
 to whom the provisions of this section may apply shall  be  detained  in
 any  prison, jail, lockup, or other place used for adults convicted of a
 crime or under arrest and charged with the commission of a crime without
 the approval of the office of children and family services  which  shall
 consult  with  the  commission of correction if the principal is sixteen
 years of age or older in the case of each principal and the statement of
 its reasons therefor; NOR SHALL A PRINCIPAL UNDER THE AGE SPECIFIED  WHO
