DE HB129

Grants juveniles the right to appeal Family Court non-amenability findings or Superior Court transfer denials directly to the Delaware Supreme Court within 30 days of sentencing, even after entering a guilty or nolo contendere plea

Prohibits conditioning any plea agreement on the child waiving their right to appeal transfer decisions

Clarifies that Superior Court does not retain jurisdiction over a child's case if the Supreme Court reverses the prior transfer order

Raises the age threshold from 14 to 16 for Attorney General-initiated amenability hearings, aligning with prior legislative changes from H.B. 115 (2021) that restricted transfers for children under 16

Makes technical corrections to change age references from "fifteenth" to "sixteenth" birthday for escape-related offenses eligible for adult court transfer
