8-2117.Prosecution of juvenile traffic offenders;
disposition.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this section, a court of competent
jurisdiction may hear prosecutions of traffic offenses involving any child 14
or more years of age but less than 18 years of age. The court hearing the
prosecution may impose any fine authorized by law for a traffic offense,
including a violation of K.S.A. 8-1567 and amendments thereto, and may order
that the child be placed in a juvenile detention facility, as defined by
K.S.A. 2009 Supp.
38-2302, and amendments thereto, for not
more than 10 days. If the child is less
than 18 years of age, the child shall not be incarcerated in a jail as defined
by
K.S.A. 2009 Supp.
38-2302, and amendments
thereto. If the statute under which
the child is
convicted requires a revocation or suspension of driving privileges, the
court shall revoke or suspend such privileges in accordance with that
statute. Otherwise, the court may suspend the license
of any person who is convicted of a traffic offense and who was under 18
years of age at the time of commission of the offense. Suspension of a license
shall be for a period not exceeding one year, as ordered by the court. Upon
suspending any license pursuant to this section, the court shall require that
the license be surrendered to the court and shall transmit the license to the
division of vehicles with a copy of the court order showing the time for which
the license is suspended. The court may modify the time for which the license
is suspended, in which case it shall notify the division of vehicles in writing
of the modification. After the time period has passed for which the license is
suspended, the division of vehicles shall issue an appropriate license to the
person whose license had been suspended, upon successful completion of the
examination required by K.S.A. 8-241 and amendments thereto and upon proper
application and payment of the required fee unless the child's driving
privileges have been revoked, suspended or canceled for another cause and the
revocation, suspension or cancellation has not expired.
(b) Instead of suspending a driver's license pursuant to this section, the
court may place restrictions on the child's driver's privileges pursuant to
K.S.A. 8-292 and amendments thereto.
(c) Instead of the penalties provided in subsections (a) and (b), the
court may place the child under a house arrest program, pursuant to K.S.A.
21-4603b, and amendments thereto, and sentence the child to the same
sentence as an adult traffic offender under K.S.A. 8-2116, and
amendments thereto.
(d) As used in this section, "traffic offense" means a violation of
the uniform act regulating traffic on highways, a violation
of articles 1
and 2 of chapter 8 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated and a violation of
K.S.A. 40-3104, and amendments thereto. Traffic
offenses shall include a violation of a city
ordinance or county resolution which
prohibits acts which would constitute a violation of the uniform act
regulating traffic on highways, a violation of articles 1 and
2 of chapter 8
of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, or a violation of K.S.A. 40-3104, and
amendments thereto, and any violation of a city ordinance or
county resolution which prohibits acts which are not violations of state laws
and which relate
to the regulation of traffic
on the roads, highways or streets or the operation of self-propelled or
nonself-propelled vehicles of any kind.
