• Expands juvenile court jurisdiction to include petty offenses and violations of local criminal ordinances, in addition to misdemeanor and felony offenses.

• Transfers section 13-3423 (drug offense assessment) from Title 13 to Title 12 and renumbers it as section 12-116.08, requiring a $15 assessment for drug offense convictions deposited into the technical registration fund.

• Corrects sentencing ranges for category one and two repetitive offenders, adjusting minimum and maximum sentences for Class 5 and Class 6 felonies.

• Updates references from "board of pardons and paroles" to "board of executive clemency" in post-conviction release procedures and expands victim notification rights to section 31-236 proceedings.
