Expands prosecutor's ability to motion for transfer of certain juvenile delinquency cases to adult court.

This bill revises the State’s juvenile justice code by expanding the law governing waiver. It allows a prosecutor to motion for a waiver of jurisdiction to include a crime committed under subsection b. of N.J.S.2C:29-2, which pertains to resisting or eluding arrest while operating a motor vehicle or vessel. Once a waiver of jurisdiction is obtained, the case will proceed as if it originated in adult criminal court where the juvenile will be subject to the sentencing provisions available to that court.
