SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

SENATE, No. 1569

with committee amendments

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED: MARCH 10, 1997

      The Senate Judiciary Committee reports favorably and with committee amendments Senate Bill No. 1569.

      This bill amends N.J.S.A.2A:4A-23 which defines "delinquency" in order to clarify that a violation of a municipal curfew or ordinance would not constitute delinquency and therefore that municipal courts would have jurisdiction over curfew violations.

      The committee adopted amendments that corrected a drafting error.
