Removes "community transition services" program that allowed juveniles to serve portions of their confinement in community-based settings with electronic monitoring

Adds robbery in the first degree, drive-by shooting, and burglary in the first degree (with prior criminal history) to offenses that trigger automatic adult court jurisdiction for 16-17 year olds

Reduces extended parole jurisdiction from up to 24-36 months to a maximum of 12 months, and eliminates provisions allowing juvenile offenders convicted as adults to remain in juvenile facilities past age 21
