Synopsis as Enacted
Brief Description: Providing for modification of the disposition concerning restitution in juvenile cases.
Sponsors: Senate Committee on Human Services & Corrections (originally sponsored by Senators Marr and Brandland).
Senate Committee on Human Services & Corrections
House Committee on Human Services
Background: A juvenile offender, as part of the juvenile's disposition, may be required to make restitution to persons who have suffered loss or damage as a result of the offense committed by the juvenile. The juvenile court may determine the amount, terms, and conditions of the restitution, including a payment plan of up to ten years, if the court determines that the juvenile does not have the means to make full restitution over a shorter period of time.
Summary: The portion of the juvenile offender's disposition related to restitution may be modified as to amount, terms, and conditions for up to a maximum of ten years after the juvenile's 18th birthday. Restitution may include the costs of counseling reasonably related to the offense.
If the court orders that a juvenile offender's record be sealed, the court's jurisdiction regarding restitution ends. The juvenile can petition the court to have his or her record sealed as long as the juvenile has paid the full amount of restitution ordered.
