Rules of Juvenile Procedure – Comment Period Closes June 2, 2025

URJP016A. Transfer of a non-delinquency proceeding. Amend. The proposed amendments to Rule 16A include: (1) moving the procedure regarding scheduling in paragraph (d) down to paragraph (e); (2) moving the procedure regarding the notice of the transfer in paragraph (e) up to paragraph (d); and (3) removing procedures in paragraph (e) regarding the “transmit[ting]” of documents. The changes reflect a logical transfer sequence and an updated transfer process given current C.A.R.E. uploading and eFiling practices.

URJP037A. Visual recording of statement or testimony of child in abuse, neglect, dependency, or substantiation proceedings – Conditions of admissibility. Amend. The proposed 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). These changes intend to clarify that Rule 37A applies to child protective order proceedings and other related non-delinquency matters. There are also several grammatical changes throughout and changes that conform to the Supreme Court’s Style Guide.

URJP044. Findings and conclusions. Amend. The proposed 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.
