Although the official U.S. position on juvenile executions has been one of intransigence, there has been some movement on the state level. Since the Supreme Court allowed the execution of 16- and 17-year-olds, no state which had an age limit of 18 has lowered their age. New states which recently adopted the death penalty have barred the death penalty for juvenile offenders. The states of Washington and Montana recently raised their age to 18, and Florida's Supreme Court raised that state's eligibility age from 16 to 17. A majority of U.S. states now either forbids executions all together, or at least bars juvenile executions.
