Concerns venue for juveniles charged with certain acts of delinquency.

This bill amends New Jersey law to change venue rules for juveniles charged with specific repeat offenses. It creates a presumption that venue (the county where a case is heard) must be in the county where the complaint was filed for juveniles previously adjudicated delinquent for theft or unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, carjacking, or burglary with intent to steal a vehicle. The change applies only to juveniles with prior adjudications for these exact offenses. Currently, venue typically defaults to the juvenile's county of domicile unless the court finds good cause to keep it elsewhere. This adjustment streamlines proceedings for these repeat juvenile offenders in the filing county.
