Requires juveniles to appear before court in county where alleged delinquency complaint occurred.
This bill requires juveniles accused of delinquency to appear in court in the county where the alleged incident occurred, rather than their county of residence. It directly affects juveniles facing delinquency charges in New Jersey. The key provision changes the court venue requirement, mandating that hearings occur where the incident happened, while also requiring courts to provide reasonable transportation to ensure juvenile attendance. This update modifies existing court rules to align with the location of the alleged offense.
