AN ACT CONCERNING JUVENILES CHARGED WITH LARCENY INVOLVING THEFT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.

This bill requires automatic transfer to criminal court for juveniles charged with larceny involving motor vehicle theft who have at least two prior felony convictions. It directly affects juveniles with prior serious offenses, changing the criteria courts use when deciding whether to transfer cases involving certain felonies. The law modifies the factors judges must consider during these transfers, shifting focus toward prior criminal history. The stated purpose is to deter auto thefts through stricter handling of repeat juvenile offenders.
