Iowa Code § 803.5 — IA Code / Title XVI / Chapter 803 / Section 803.5
Transfer of jurisdiction.
Status: in_force

(1) An adult who is alleged to have committed a criminal offense prior to having reached the age of eighteen may be transferred to juvenile court for adjudication and disposition as a juvenile, provided that the taking of that person into custody for the alleged act or the filing of a complaint, information, or indictment alleging the act, occurs within the time periods and under the conditions specified in chapter 802 and further provided that the juvenile court has not already waived its jurisdiction over the person and the alleged offense.

(2) The defendant or the county attorney may file a motion for the transfer any time within ten days of the initial appearance.

(3) The court shall hold a transfer hearing on all such motions. A notice of the time and place of the transfer hearing shall be given to all parties to the hearing.

(4) Prior to the transfer hearing, the juvenile probation officer, or other person or agency designated by the court, shall conduct an investigation for the purpose of collecting information relevant to the court’s decision to waive its jurisdiction over the defendant for the alleged commission of the public offense and shall submit a report concerning the investigation to the court. The report shall include any recommendations made concerning transfer. Prior to the hearing the court shall provide the defendant’s counsel and the county attorney with access to the report and to all written material to be considered by the court.

(5) After the hearing, the court may transfer jurisdiction to the juvenile court if the court determines that there is probable cause to believe that the adult committed an offense while still a juvenile, and waiver to the criminal court would be inappropriate under the criteria set forth in section 232.45, subsection 6, paragraph “c”, and section 232.45, subsection 8, if the adult were still a child.

(6) If after the hearing the court transfers jurisdiction over the adult to the juvenile court for the alleged commission of the public offense, the court shall forward the transfer order together with all papers, documents, and a transcript of all testimony filed or admitted into evidence in connection with the case to the clerk of the juvenile court in the same manner as provided in section 232.8, subsection 2.
