WA HB1752

Courts of limited jurisdiction (such as municipal and district courts) may exercise concurrent jurisdiction with juvenile courts over misdemeanor offenses committed by juveniles, when authorized by county legislative authority

Concurrent jurisdiction applies only when the juvenile's standard range disposition does not include confinement and the court has agreements with the county juvenile detention facility and juvenile court for supervision and restorative justice programming

Juvenile court retains jurisdiction when a juvenile is charged with multiple offenses from the same incident if the juvenile court would otherwise have jurisdiction over any of those offenses

Procedural and dispositional standards of chapter 13.40 RCW continue to apply, and adjudications from courts of limited jurisdiction must be included in the juvenile's criminal history

Jurisdiction under this provision does not constitute a decline or transfer of juvenile court jurisdiction under RCW 13.40.110
