Nevada AB351 revises juvenile court jurisdiction over certain offenses committed by individuals aged 21 and older.

Nevada AB351 amends the jurisdiction of the juvenile court over certain offenses committed by individuals aged 21 and older. The bill grants the juvenile court limited jurisdiction over a person charged with a delinquent act that occurred when they were less than 18 years of age. The court must hold a hearing to determine whether there is probable cause to believe the person committed the delinquent act. If probable cause is found, the court must decide whether to dismiss the charges or transfer the case to the district court for criminal proceedings.
