MO HB3413

Adds "certified juvenile" as a statutory definition for a child certified under section 211.071 to stand trial as an adult for an offense

Narrows the list of offenses requiring mandatory certification hearings for children ages 12-18 to first degree murder, controlled substance distribution/manufacturing, and dangerous felonies (removes second degree murder, first degree assault, first degree rape, first degree sodomy, first degree robbery, felonies involving deadly weapons, and repeat felony offenders from mandatory hearing requirement)

Requires juvenile officers to consult with prosecuting attorneys (previously permissive) on any offense for which a child could be certified as an adult

Beginning January 1, 2028, certified juveniles awaiting trial must be transferred to the Division of Youth Services rather than secure juvenile detention facilities, unless the court finds adult jail placement is in the best interest of justice

Repeals the "Jonathan's Law" citation name for the juvenile certification statutes (sections 211.071 and 211.073)
