Overview
This bill changes the rules for where juvenile delinquency cases are heard in New Jersey. Currently, a juvenile’s home county is where the case is filed if they live elsewhere. However, this bill creates a presumption that if a juvenile is charged with serious offenses like car theft or burglary and has a prior delinquency record, the case should be filed in the county where the original complaint was filed. This aims to ensure consistent and appropriate venue for these types of cases.
