HB 434 New Mexico House · 2025 Regular Session

ADJUDICATED DELINQUENT CHILD RELEASE TIME

HB 434 amends New Mexico law to expand the maximum supervised release period for juveniles found delinquent from 90 days to up to 180 days after serving time in a juvenile facility. This change directly affects juveniles adjudicated delinquent under New Mexico's juvenile justice system, particularly those under short-term (18-month) or long-term (2-year) commitments. The bill modifies existing provisions in Section 32A-2-19 by updating the supervised release timeframe in dispositions under subsections B(1)(a) and (b). It does not alter the facility stay duration but extends the community-based supervision period before full release. This is a technical policy adjustment to juvenile sentencing procedures, not a new program or funding measure.
