AI Summary
This bill provides for a hearing to determine whether a child who has been transferred to adult court should remain there. The judge must consider various factors, including the child's maturity, record, the nature of the alleged offense, and the prospects for rehabilitation in the juvenile justice system. The adult court will retain jurisdiction unless the court finds that the factors support returning the child to juvenile court. The child, parents, defense counsel, and the state attorney have the right to examine relevant reports and question the persons responsible for them at the hearing. The order can be appealed.
