ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The Maryland Senate has passed a juvenile justice reform measure.
The bill, which was approved Monday, now goes to the House. The measure generally says a child younger than 13 won’t be subject to the jurisdiction of juvenile court for delinquency proceedings.

The bill is based on recommendations from a state panel that studied juvenile justice reform.
Its passage comes as lawmakers reached a milestone day in their 90-day session with three weeks left.
