The bill, introduced by Representatives Williams and Bird, seeks to repeal section 2151.271 of the Revised Code. This section currently provides the juvenile court with the option to transfer proceedings against a juvenile to the county where the juvenile resides.
By removing this provision, the bill eliminates the ability of juvenile courts to transfer cases based on the juvenile's residence, potentially impacting how juvenile cases are handled within the court system. The repeal aims to streamline the process and may have implications for jurisdiction and case management in juvenile justice.
