196442 Offender Act for custody, institutional plac ement, supervision,

198470 and the ability to transfer youthful o ffenders to the Department of
199471 Corrections when incarceration or additional supervision is required
200472 beyond the maximum age allowed i n the OJA. No older youth should be
201473 deemed ineligible or d enied consideration as a youthful offender who
202474 is otherwise lawfully eligible based upon the age of the youth being
203475 seventeen (17) years, but it is the intent of the Legisl ature that

206478 eighteen (18) years and six (6) months or until nineteen (19) years
207479 of age if jurisdiction has been ex tended as provided in subsectio n D
208480 of Section 9 of this act. To deny access to an otherwise eligible

211-
212483 D. Unless otherwise provided by law, w hen a court determines
213484 that a youthful offender has successfully completed his or her

2951+is otherwise lawfully eligible based upon the age of the youth being

2955+eighteen (18) years and six (6) months or until nineteen (19) years
2956+of age if jurisdiction has been ex tended as provided in subsection D
