Bill Would Get Rid of Court Fines for Juveniles

>>Bill Would Get Rid of Court Fines for Juveniles

(Harrisburg, PA) -- A bipartisan bill has reached the state senate that would end juvenile fines. Supporters say when young people are assessed district court fines for things like having tobacco in school or underage alcohol possession it can be difficult for them to get out of the juvenile justice system if they can't pay. The advocates say that's especially true for young people of color.
