The bill also makes the use of a juvenile in the theft of a motor vehicle a strict liability crime. Under the new law, juveniles aged 15 and older charged with theft or unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, and who have previously been adjudicated delinquent for such offenses, are eligible for waiver to adult court.
