HB 1661-S - DIGEST

(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

Provides that the court upon motion of any party or upon its own motion may, at any time, transfer a proceeding to another juvenile court when there is reason to believe that an impartial proceeding cannot be held in the county in which the proceeding was begun.

Provides that a court may transfer a proceeding to another juvenile court following disposition for the purposes of supervision and enforcement of the disposition order.

Provides that, if the court orders a transfer of venue, the case and copies of all legal and social documents pertaining thereto shall be transferred to the county in which the juvenile resides, without regard to whether or not his or her custodial parent resides there, for supervision and enforcement of the disposition order.

Provides that, if any restitution is yet to be determined, the originating court shall transfer the case to the new county with the exception of the restitution. Venue over restitution shall be retained by the originating court for purposes of establishing a restitution order. Once restitution is determined, the originating county shall then transfer venue over modification and enforcement of the restitution to the new county.
