An Act to amend and reenact � 16.1-284 of the Code of 
Virginia, relating to adults sentenced for juvenile offenses; good conduct

[S 307] 

Approved March 31, 2020 

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That � 16.1-284 of the Code of Virginia is amended and 
reenacted as follows:

� 16.1-284. When adult sentenced for juvenile offense.

A. When the juvenile court sentences an adult who has 
committed, before attaining the age of 18, an offense that would be a crime if 
committed by an adult, the court may impose, for each offense, the penalties 
that are authorized to be imposed on adults for such violations, not to exceed 
the punishment for a Class 1 misdemeanor, provided that the total jail sentence 
imposed shall not exceed 36 continuous months and the total fine shall not 
exceed $2,500 or the court may order a disposition as provided in subdivision A 
4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 14, or 17 and subsection B of � 16.1-278.8.

B. A person sentenced pursuant to this section shall be 
entitled to earn good time credit as authorized by � 53.1-116 
at the rate of one day for each one day served, including all days served while 
confined in jail or secured detention prior to conviction and sentencing, in 
which the person has not violated the written rules and regulations of the jail.
