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 and the juvenile courts handling these cases. The key mechanism changes venue rules by mandating appearance in the incident county, while requiring courts to provide reasonable transportation to ensure attendance. This replaces current practice where venue could be set in the juvenile's residence county.
