(2)
A juvenile convicted of or adjudged delinquent of three (3) or more offenses, other
than violations or status offenses, by the juvenile session of District Court, shall be
retained under the jurisdiction and supervision of the court with regard to the
commission of that offense until the child reaches the age of eighteen (18), except
that if the child is convicted of or adjudged delinquent of a third or subsequent
misdemeanor offense after the child reaches the age of seventeen (17) years and six
(6) months, the court's jurisdiction and supervision shall continue for a period not to
exceed one (1) year. This jurisdiction shall continue even after the service of
incarceration or other court-ordered punishment in the form of conditional
discharge. Violation of the terms and conditions of conditional discharge shall be
punished as contempt of court.
The provisions of this section shall not apply to adjudications of delinquency for
more than one (1) misdemeanor arising from the same incident.
Effective: July 15, 1997
History: Created 1996 Ky. Acts ch. 358, sec. 42, effective July 15, 1997.
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/96). Under 1996 Ky. Acts ch. 358, sec.
67(1), this statute becomes effective July 15, 1997.
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/96). Although 1996 Ky. Acts ch. 358,
sec. 42, indicated that it was creating a new section of KRS Chapter 630, this statute
has been codified in KRS Chapter 635 because the text of the statute clearly indicates
that it does not apply to status offenses. See KRS 7.136(1)(a).
