Abstract: Amends provisions regarding the disposition of juveniles for the certain
delinquent acts.
Present law provides that a child who has been adjudicated a delinquent for a felony-grade
delinquent act based upon a violation of R.S. 14:64 (armed robbery), R.S. 14:30 (first degree
murder), R.S. 14:30.1 (second degree murder), R.S. 14:42 (aggravated rape), or R.S. 14:44
(aggravated kidnapping), shall be confined in secure placement until he reaches 21 years of
age without benefit of parole, probation, suspension of imposition or execution of sentence,

Proposed law repeals that provision of present law which requires the child to serve the
duration of his disposition without the benefit of parole, probation, suspension of imposition
or execution of sentence, or modification of sentence.
