Rules of Juvenile Procedure – Comment Period Closes August 14, 2026

URJP016. Transfer of delinquency case and venue. Amend. The proposed amendments primarily clarify the procedures for transferring delinquency cases, establishing the minor’s county of residence as the primary venue. Additionally, the proposal specifies that cases not adjudicated at arraignment must be transferred to the county of occurrence for “pretrial conference and all other hearings up to and including adjudication” before returning to the county of residence for disposition, and it allows either court to handle competency motions following mutual consultation.
