Makes juvenile eligible for waiver for certain criminal homicide offenses regardless of age.
S 4466 would amend New Jersey law to allow juveniles of any age to be waived to adult court for criminal homicide offenses (excluding death by auto), removing the current requirement that the juvenile be 15 or older. This directly affects all juveniles charged with these specific offenses, regardless of their age at the time of the alleged crime. The bill's key change eliminates the age threshold for waiver eligibility in criminal homicide cases, meaning even very young juveniles could face adult prosecution. The amendment also requires prosecutors to provide written justification for waiver requests and mandates data collection on waiver decisions.
