New Jersey S1033 amends existing law to require that a juvenile charged with a delinquent act be prosecuted in the county where the incident giving rise to the complaint allegedly occurred. This change ensures that the venue for prosecution aligns with the location of the alleged offense, unless the court finds good cause to retain venue in another county. The bill also clarifies the court's jurisdiction over juveniles in various capacities, including as material witnesses and in juvenile-family crisis situations.
