For first-time delinquent acts involving alcohol or beer, in its order for community service work, the court may require the juvenile to spend a portion of such time in the emergency room of a hospital, only if, and to the extent, the hospital agrees with such action;(B) No charitable organization, municipality, county or political subdivision thereof utilizing juveniles performing community service work pursuant to this chapter shall be liable for any injury sustained by the juvenile or other person, proximately caused by the juvenile, while the juvenile is performing a work project for such organization or governmental entity, if the organization or governmental entity exercised due care in the supervision of the juvenile;(C) No charitable organization, municipality, county or political subdivision thereof, nor any employee or officer thereof, shall be liable to any person for any act of a juvenile while the juvenile is on a community work project for such organization or governmental entity, if the organization or governmental entity exercised due care in the supervision of the juvenile;(D) No charitable organization, municipality, county or political subdivision thereof, nor any employee or officer thereof, shall be liable to any juvenile or the juvenile's family for death or injuries received, proximately caused by the juvenile, while the juvenile is on a community work project for such organization or governmental entity, if the organization or governmental entity exercised due care in the supervision of the juvenile;(E) The authority and protection from liability provided by this section is supplemental and in addition to any other authority and protection provided by law;(F) The court shall not order a child placed in the custody of the department or otherwise remove the child from the child's home, including the home of a parent, guardian, or other legal custodian for any length of time, for failure to complete community service work or satisfy conditions associated with community service work as ordered by the court; and(8)(A) In lieu of committing a child to the custody of the department of children's services and subject to the requirements of subdivision (a)(8)(B), the court may order any of the following if the child is found to be a delinquent child: (i) Assign a long-term mentor to such child; or(ii) Require that the delinquent child or any of the child's family members receive counseling services from any counseling service provided through or approved by the juvenile court;(B) An order may be issued under subdivision (a)(8)(A) only if the funding necessary to implement such order is appropriated by the legislative body of the county in which the court is located or is provided by grants from public or private sources.(b)(1)(A) If the child is found to be delinquent, the court shall determine if any monetary damages actually resulted from the child's delinquent conduct. Upon a determination that monetary damages resulted from such conduct, the court shall order the child to make restitution for such damages unless the court further determines that the specific circumstances of the individual case render such restitution, or a specified portion thereof, inappropriate. The court shall identify whether a restorative justice program addressing loss resulting from a delinquent act is available and may be utilized appropriately in the place of financial restitution. Any financial obligations or restitution assessed against the child or the child's parents, legal custodians, or guardians shall be considered collectively with community service work to ensure that the order of disposition is reasonable and, where applicable, prioritizes restitution to the victim. In determining whether an order of disposition is reasonable, the court may consider whether the child and the child's parents, legal custodians, or guardians have the ability to complete the requirements of the order within six (6) months.(B) If the child is found to be delinquent for a second or subsequent delinquent act, the court may enter an order of restitution against the parent, legal custodian, or guardian who had custody of the child at the time of the act for the expenses incurred by any law enforcement agency in responding to and investigating the delinquent act. A restitution order entered under this subdivision (b)(1)(B) must be no less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250), if the act committed by the child would be a misdemeanor if committed by an adult, or no less than five hundred dollars ($500), if the act committed by the child would be a felony if committed by an adult. The restitution order entered under this subdivision (b)(1)(B) must not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000). If the court finds that the child's parent, legal custodian, or guardian is indigent and waives restitution under this subdivision (b)(1)(B), then the court must order the child's parent, legal custodian, or guardian to perform community service work in lieu of the restitution.(2)(A) IF restitution is ordered pursuant to this subsection (b) in those cases where the court has made a finding that:(i) A specified amount is owed;(ii) Such amount is ordered to be paid pursuant to a specific payment schedule; and(iii) The total amount of such ordered restitution is not paid by the time the juvenile court determines that discharge of a case is appropriate or no longer has jurisdiction over the child; THEN, notwithstanding § 37-1-133(b) or any other law to the contrary, the recipient of such restitution may convert the unpaid balance of the restitution ordered by the court into a civil judgment in accordance with the procedure set out in this subsection (b). The payment of such civil judgment shall be at the same payment schedule as that as when the offender was a juvenile.
(B) Under such judgment, payments shall be continued to be made under the specific payment schedule ordered by the juvenile court until the judgment has been satisfied.(3) The restitution recipient shall file a certified copy of the juvenile court's restitution order with any court having jurisdiction over the total amount of restitution ordered.(4) Upon receipt of such a restitution order, the court shall take proof as to the amount of ordered restitution actually paid. If the court finds that the amount of restitution actually paid is less than the total amount of restitution ordered by the juvenile court, it shall enter a judgment in favor of the restitution recipient and against the offender for the amount of the unpaid balance of such restitution.(5) A judgment entered pursuant to this subsection (b) shall remain in effect for a period of ten (10) years from the date of entry and shall be enforceable by the restitution recipient in the same manner and to the same extent as other civil judgments; however, such civil judgment shall not be referred to any collection service as defined by § 62-20-102.(c)(1) This subsection (c) shall apply to a juvenile who is adjudicated delinquent, but not committed to the custody of the department of children's services, for an act that if committed by an adult would be one (1) or more of the following offenses:(A) First degree murder, as prohibited by § 39-13-202;(B) Second degree murder, as prohibited by § 39-13-210;(C) Voluntary manslaughter, as prohibited by § 39-13-211;(D) Criminally negligent homicide, as prohibited by § 39-13-212;(E) Rape, as prohibited by § 39-13-503;(F) Aggravated rape, as prohibited by § 39-13-502;(G) Rape of a child, as prohibited by § 39-13-522;(H) Aggravated rape of a child, as prohibited by § 39-13-531;(I) Aggravated robbery, as prohibited by § 39-13-402;(J) Especially aggravated robbery, as prohibited by § 39-13-403;(K) Kidnapping, as prohibited by § 39-13-303;(L) Aggravated kidnapping, as prohibited by § 39-13-304;(M) Especially aggravated kidnapping, as prohibited by § 39-13-305;(N) Aggravated assault, as prohibited by § 39-13-102;(O) Felony reckless endangerment, as prohibited by § 39-13-103;(P) Sexual battery, as prohibited by § 39-13-505;(Q) Aggravated sexual battery, as prohibited by § 39-13-504; or(R) Any other Class A or Class B felony.(2) If a court finds a juvenile to be delinquent as a result of an act listed in subdivision (c)(1), the court shall have broad discretion to issue orders and, in conjunction with representatives from the LEA, to change the educational assignment of the juvenile. The court shall involve representatives of the LEA, as necessary, to ascertain a proper educational assignment and the availability of secure educational facilities for the juvenile who, through actions of the court, is facing personal restrictions or being released with compulsory attendance in school as a condition of personal restriction or release. There shall be a presumption in favor of issuing a court order prohibiting the juvenile from attending the same educational placement as the victim.(3) The court shall have discretion to determine how best to restrict future contact of the defendant with the victim while the victim is at school or in other public settings.(4) When consulted by the court, the representatives of the LEA shall provide a list of alternatives to attendance at the school which is attended by the victim. This information shall include the availability of programs including another school assignment within the district, alternative school, virtual education, homebound instruction, adult education programs, and high school equivalency testing eligibility.(5) The school resource officer shall be authorized to assist school officials in the enforcement of orders issued by the court and shall be made fully aware of the confidential nature of any order and the student's educational assignment.(6) [Deleted by 2018 amendment.](d)(1) Notwithstanding this section to the contrary, a juvenile who is adjudicated delinquent for conduct that, if committed by an adult, would constitute one (1) of the offenses set out in subdivision (d)(3) shall be committed to the department of children's services for a period of not less than one (1) year; provided, that for the offenses listed in subdivisions (d)(3)(D) and (E), a court may, upon a finding of good cause, order a commitment for a term of less than one (1) year or decline to order a commitment.(2) The commitment required by subdivision (d)(1) must be the least restrictive disposition permissible for an applicable juvenile, and nothing in this subsection (d) prohibits the court from:(A) Transferring a juvenile to whom this section applies to adult court to stand trial as an adult as provided in § 37-1-134;(B) Extending the term of commitment beyond the one-year minimum required by this subsection (d); or(C) Any other dispositional alternative more restrictive than this subsection (d).(3) The offenses to which this subsection (d) applies are:(A) First degree murder, as prohibited by § 39-13-202;(B) Second degree murder, as prohibited by § 39-13-210;(C) Voluntary manslaughter, as prohibited by § 39-13-211;(D) Criminally negligent homicide, as prohibited by § 39-13-212; and(E) Reckless homicide, as prohibited by § 39-13-215.(e)(1) Notwithstanding this section to the contrary, a juvenile who is adjudicated delinquent for conduct that, if committed by an adult, would constitute one (1) of the offenses set out in subdivision (e)(3) may be committed to the department of children's services for a period of one (1) year.(2) This subsection (e) does not prohibit the court from:(A) Transferring a juvenile to whom this section applies to adult court to stand trial as an adult as provided in § 37-1-134;(B) Extending the term of commitment beyond one (1) year; or(C) Ordering any other dispositional alternative.(3) The offenses to which this subsection (e) applies are: (A) Rape, as prohibited by § 39-13-503;(B) Aggravated rape, as prohibited by § 39-13-502;(C) Rape of a child, as prohibited by § 39-13-522; and(D) Aggravated rape of a child, as prohibited by § 39-13-531.(f) Notwithstanding this section to the contrary, the court shall prohibit a child who is adjudicated delinquent for conduct that, if committed by an adult, would constitute the offense of aggravated rape, under § 39-13-502, rape, under § 39-13-503, rape of a child, under § 39-13-522, or aggravated rape of a child, under § 39-13-531, from accepting employment or volunteering in any capacity that the child knows or reasonably should know will cause the child to be in close and frequent contact with a minor until the child reaches eighteen (18) years of age.

Notwithstanding this section to the contrary, the prohibition required by this subsection (f) must remain in effect until the child attains eighteen (18) years of age, regardless of the other terms of the child's disposition.(g)(1) The court shall classify a child fourteen (14) years of age or older as a serious youthful offender if: (A) The child is adjudicated delinquent for an offense listed in subdivision (g)(2)(A) or (g)(2)(B), or an attempt to commit an offense listed in subdivision (g)(2)(A) or (g)(2)(B);(B) The child is adjudicated delinquent for an offense listed in subdivisions (g)(2)(C)-(P) and the child has a prior adjudication of delinquency for any offense listed in subdivision (g)(2); or(C) The child has been adjudicated delinquent for an offense listed in subdivisions (g)(2)(C)-(P) and the district attorney general has asked the court to classify the child as a serious youthful offender.(2) This subsection (g) applies to delinquent acts committed by a child that, if committed by an adult, would constitute: (A) First degree murder, as defined in § 39-13-202, if the child was fourteen (14) years of age or older but less than sixteen (16) years of age at the time of the commission of the offense;(B) Second degree murder, as defined in § 39-13-210, if the child was fourteen (14) years of age or older but less than sixteen (16) years of age at the time of the commission of the offense;(C) Rape, as defined in § 39-13-503;(D) Aggravated rape, as defined in § 39-13-502;(E) Rape of a child, as defined in § 39-13-522;(F) Aggravated rape of a child, as defined in § 39-13-531;(G) Aggravated robbery, as defined in § 39-13-402;(H) Especially aggravated robbery, as defined in § 39-13-403;(I) Especially aggravated burglary, as defined in § 39-13-1004;(J) Aggravated kidnapping, as defined in § 39-13-304;(K) Especially aggravated kidnapping, as defined in § 39-13-305;(L) Commission of an act of terrorism, as defined in § 39-13-805;(M) Carjacking, as defined in § 39-13-404;(N) Aggravated child abuse or aggravated child neglect or endangerment, as defined in § 39-15-402;(O) Any other Class A or Class B felony offense involving the use of a deadly weapon during the commission of the offense; or(P) Criminal attempt, under § 39-12-101, to commit any Class A felony offense listed in this subdivision (g)(2).(3) The court may impose any of the dispositions set forth in subsection (a), or a combination of any such dispositions, upon a juvenile classified as a serious youthful offender; provided, that notwithstanding another law to the contrary, the disposition must be for a fixed period of time that does not end before the serious youthful offender's nineteenth birthday. If the court commits the serious youthful offender to the custody of the department, then the time credits set forth in § 37-1-137(h) must not apply to shorten the time of a serious youthful offender's disposition imposed pursuant to this subdivision (g)(3).(4) In addition to the disposition imposed pursuant to subdivision (g)(3), the court shall impose an additional disposition to be served after the serious youthful offender turns nineteen (19) years of age, and which ends on or before the offender's twenty-fourth birthday. Notwithstanding § 40-35-303, the additional disposition may include probation. The minimum additional disposition beyond the serious youthful offender's nineteenth birthday must be: (A) Four (4) years if the juvenile is adjudicated delinquent for an act that would be a Class A felony if committed by an adult; or(B) Three (3) years if the juvenile is adjudicated delinquent for an act that would be a Class B felony if committed by an adult.(5)(A) The court must stay the additional disposition imposed pursuant to subdivision (g)(4).(B) The court shall conduct a hearing within four (4) months of the serious youthful offender's nineteenth birthday to review the offender's circumstances and determine whether the stayed additional disposition should be invoked.

Under no circumstances shall the serious youthful offender remain in the custody of the department of children's services beyond the offender's nineteenth birthday.(7) If the court determines that the additional disposition should not be invoked, then the juvenile court shall enter an order terminating supervision as of the serious youthful offender's nineteenth birthday.(8) The court shall make or cause to be made an audio recording of a dispositional hearing conducted pursuant to subdivisions (g)(1)-(4) or a disposition review hearing conducted pursuant to subdivisions (g)(5)-(7).

If the offender is found to have violated the conditions of probation or committed a new offense, then the juvenile court may impose any consequences that may be imposed on an adult offender serving a period of probation, and the court is not limited to the disposition authorized in this section.Amended by 2024 Tenn.
