FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) assume this proposal modifies provisions
relating to the certification of juveniles for trial as adults. The proposed legislation does not
provide any new penalties or offenses, but increases the likelihood that a juvenile could be
transferred to a court of general jurisdiction and sentenced there under section 211.071. It is
unknown how many juveniles will be transferred to a court of general jurisdiction; therefore, the
DOC will have to assume an unknown fiscal impact.
Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the
estimates as provided by the DOC.

organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight
will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies.
Oversight notes the following information regarding the number of juveniles who were certified
to adult court for the last 5 years:

FISCAL IMPACT – Small Business
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.
FISCAL DESCRIPTION
Currently, there are certain offenses for which a court may, in its discretion, order a hearing to
determine whether a juvenile should be certified to be tried as an adult and certain offenses for
which a court is required to order such a hearing. This bill adds the offenses of vehicle hijacking,
stealing a motor vehicle, and armed criminal action to the list of offenses for which a court must
order such a hearing.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
