Expands prosecutor's ability to motion for transfer of certain juvenile delinquency cases to adult court.
This bill revises New Jersey's juvenile justice code by expanding the law governing waiver of jurisdiction. It allows prosecutors to motion for the transfer of certain juvenile delinquency cases to adult court, including cases involving resisting or eluding arrest while operating a motor vehicle or vessel. The case will proceed as if it originated in adult criminal court, with the juvenile subject to adult sentencing provisions. The bill also mandates data collection and analysis on waiver decisions, and requires biennial reports to the Governor and Legislature.
