S 3154 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns venue for juveniles charged with certain acts of delinquency.

S 3154 changes where juvenile cases involving specific vehicle-related crimes must be heard. It requires that for juveniles previously found delinquent for theft of a motor vehicle, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, carjacking, or burglary to steal a vehicle, the case must be tried in the county where the complaint was filed. This applies only when the juvenile has a prior adjudication for one of these offenses. The bill does not affect venue rules for other juvenile cases or offenses.
