The following is a summary of Senate Bill 72 (SB72), proposed by Senator Walter "Skip" Campbell. If passed, it would be a dramatic change for the way kids are dealt with in Florida's criminal justice system. However, the bill needs to go through three criminal justice committees before making it's way to the senate floor. If passed it will become effective July 2003. I have included the website address which outlines the specific language of the bill.
You can show support for Senator Campbell's bill by writing to the following senators who chair each of the committees the bill must pass through. The legislative session runs from March 10th to May 10th.
