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).
