Overview
This bill requires juveniles facing delinquency complaints to appear in court in the county where the incident that led to the complaint occurred. For offenses considered serious under adult law (first through third degree), the juvenile must appear in the county where the incident happened. For less serious offenses (fourth degree, disorderly persons, or petty disorderly persons), the juvenile will appear in the county where they currently reside, unless the court determines it’s necessary to appear in the county where the incident occurred. The bill also outlines procedures for objections to venue changes and ensures timely notification to all parties.
