This bill amends the juvenile waiver law in New Jersey to permit juveniles, regardless of age, to be tried as adults for committing homicide against law enforcement officers. Under the new provisions, if there is probable cause to believe that a juvenile has committed an act that would be classified as criminal homicide if committed by an adult, and the victim is a law enforcement officer acting in the line of duty, the court is required to waive jurisdiction over the juvenile case. This means the case will be referred to the appropriate court and prosecuting authority for adult prosecution.

Additionally, the bill allows the court to deny a prosecutor's motion to waive jurisdiction if it is determined that such a motion constitutes an abuse of discretion. This legislative change aims to enhance accountability for violent crimes against law enforcement personnel, ensuring that serious offenses are addressed with the gravity they warrant. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
