Five Changes Proposed in Utah Juvenile Court Bill
Salt Lake City January 20. A Utah house bill by Horace v Beck proposes five changes to the juvenile court code reflecting judges in all five districts. The main change allows complete disposal of cases involving felonies by juvenile court magistrates. It also clarifies the court's power to impose fines and restitution, and provides an equal division of fines between counties and the state. Bond for delinquent children's guardians rises to 1000 dollars while maintenance remains 10 dollars monthly. Reports would align with the state fiscal year.
