Requires juvenile charged with delinquent act to be prosecuted in county where incident giving rise to complaint occurred.
S 3420 requires juvenile delinquency cases to be prosecuted in the county where the incident occurred, rather than allowing cases to be filed in the juvenile's home county. This change applies to all juveniles charged with delinquent acts and removes the current exception that permitted venue in the juvenile's county of residence. The bill mandates that all such cases must be handled in the jurisdiction where the alleged offense took place. It directly affects juvenile court proceedings and the counties responsible for processing these cases.
