NV AB351

Expands juvenile court jurisdiction over persons 21 or older charged with delinquent acts committed as minors, addressing a gap identified by the Nevada Supreme Court in Zalyaul v. State (2022) where no court had jurisdiction over certain offenses committed before age 16

Establishes tiered age thresholds: category A/B felonies for acts committed at ages 16-17; category A/B felonies involving deadly weapons for ages 14-15; and murder or attempted murder for ages 13 and up

Requires juvenile court to hold probable cause hearings and decide whether to dismiss cases or transfer them to district court for adult criminal proceedings based on clear and convincing evidence

Mandates courts consider factors including gravity of the offense, weapon use, victim impact, the person's rehabilitation and behavior since the offense, recidivism risk, and delay in arrest when determining case disposition

Applies retroactively to offenses committed on or after October 1, 2013, and takes effect immediately upon passage and approval
