An Act relative to juvenile fees, fines, and restitution

This bill modifies Massachusetts laws regarding juvenile justice to eliminate fees and fines for minors and restrict how restitution is applied. It removes the ability to charge parents or guardians for court appearance fees related to property destruction and prohibits issuing arrest warrants solely for nonpayment of fines. Additionally, the legislation mandates that any restitution ordered must be based on a youth's ability to pay, prevents probation extensions from being used as punishment for nonpayment, and establishes a presumption that a minor cannot pay if they rely on government assistance or have low income.
