Michigan Raise The Age Law on Track to Pass, Leaving Three States with Juvenile Age Under 18
The number of states with a juvenile justice age below 18 stands at four, down from 14 states a decade ago.
By the end of this legislative season, another one is likely to bite the dust. Advocates expect Michigan to pass a law that would raise the age (RTA) of jurisdiction from 17 to 18, effective October 2021.
