Senate Bill 200 is a comprehensive effort to reform Kentucky's juvenile justice system by providing alternatives to jailing kids for offenses like skipping school or running away from home. The goal of the measure is to achieve better outcomes for families and children, safer communities, and huge savings for taxpayers. Sen. John Schickel (R-Union), a retired law enforcement officer, insisted the measure would diminish the authority of local county attorneys, judges, and parents. He spoke on March 20, 2014.
