S 1033 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires juvenile charged with delinquent act to be prosecuted in county where incident giving rise to complaint occurred.

This bill changes where juvenile delinquency cases are heard. Currently, if a juvenile lives in a different county than where the alleged act occurred, the case may sometimes be filed in the juvenile's home county. The bill requires all such cases to be filed in the county where the incident happened, removing that exception. It directly affects juveniles charged with delinquent acts in New Jersey.
