SB 2108: FAMILY COURT; JURISDICTION; WAIVER; CRIMINAL OFFENSES; MINOR DEFENDANTS; ABUSE; TRAUMA

Amends the factors a family court is required to consider in deciding whether the family court may waive jurisdiction over a minor or adult held for criminal proceedings for acts committed during the person's minority.  Preserves the family court's jurisdiction over a minor transferred for criminal proceedings for subsequent acts that would otherwise be within the family court's jurisdiction.  Requires the family court to retain jurisdiction over a minor if the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the minor was trafficked, sexually abused, or raped by the alleged victim in the case before or during the commission of the alleged offense.  (CD1)
