New Jersey A2272 establishes a presumption for venue in certain juvenile delinquency cases.

New Jersey A2272 modifies the venue rules for juveniles charged with specific delinquent acts, including theft of a motor vehicle, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, carjacking, or burglary with intent to commit theft of a motor vehicle.
