Prohibits removal of an adolescent offender to family court if they possessed a loaded firearm during the offense.
This bill amends the criminal procedure law to prevent the transfer of an adolescent offender to family court if the defendant possessed a loaded firearm during the commission of the offense. The court must order the action to proceed in criminal court if the district attorney proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant possessed a loaded firearm during the offense. This change aims to ensure that certain serious offenses involving firearms are handled in criminal court rather than family court.
