Rules of Juvenile Procedure – Effective November 1, 2025
URJP037A. Visual recording of statement or testimony of child in abuse, neglect, dependency, or substantiation proceedings – Conditions of admissibility. Amend. The approved changes to Rule 37A add child protective order proceedings and other related non-delinquency proceedings to the title and to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c). There are also several grammatical changes throughout and changes that conform to the Supreme Court’s Style Guide.
URJP044. Findings and conclusions. Amend. The approved amendment to Rule 44 strikes the procedure in paragraph (c) that directs a court to “dismiss any petition which has not been proven,” and replaces it with the following two procedures: (1) in regards to a non-delinquency case, a court will dismiss a petition that has not been proven; and (2) in a delinquency case, the court will enter a finding and disposition of Not True when an allegation of delinquency has not been proven. To accommodate the two proposed procedures, current paragraphs (d), (e), and (f) were renumbered. There are also several grammatical changes throughout and changes that conform to the Supreme Court’s Style Guide.
