Allows juvenile to be tried as adult regardless of age for certain drug offenses resulting in death; imposes life imprisonment for conviction of strict liability for drug induced deaths if victim was under age 18.

This bill changes New Jersey law to require that juveniles (any age) accused of distributing certain drugs (like methamphetamine or cocaine) that cause the death of someone under 18 be tried as adults, without court discretion. It also mandates a life prison sentence without parole for anyone convicted of this "strict liability" offense when the victim was under 18 and the drug quantity was one ounce or more. The bill amends two key statutes: N.J.S.2C:35-9 (defining strict liability for drug-induced deaths) and P.L.2015, c.89 (juvenile waiver procedures). It directly affects juveniles who distribute controlled substances classified in Schedules I or II, and would remove the current age threshold (15+) for automatic adult trial in these specific cases.
