SC H5119

Board of Juvenile Parole review authority is narrowed to apply only to juveniles committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice for violent felony adjudications, rather than all committed juveniles.

Removes the exemption that previously allowed juveniles adjudicated for Class C misdemeanors or unclassified misdemeanors (carrying imprisonment of one year or less) to avoid warrantless search requirements as a condition of release.

Eliminates the provision granting juveniles who committed non-violent offenses the right to appear before the parole board every three months for parole consideration.

Authorizes the Board of Juvenile Parole to waive quarterly reviews for all juveniles under its jurisdiction until they reach minimum parole guidelines, with subsequent reviews scheduled at the board's discretion between 3-12 months apart.
