§ 301.3. Applicability of article to actions and matters occurring

before and after effective date. 1. The provisions of this article apply

exclusively to:

(a) all juvenile delinquency actions and proceedings commenced upon or

after the effective date thereof and all appeals and other post-judgment

proceedings relating or attaching thereto; and

(b) all matters of juvenile delinquency procedure prescribed in this

article which do not constitute a part of any particular action or case,

occurring upon or after such effective date.

2. The provisions of this article apply to:

(a) all juvenile delinquency actions and proceedings commenced prior

to the effective date thereof but still pending on such date; and

(b) all appeals and other post-judgment proceedings commenced upon or

after such effective date which relate or attach to juvenile delinquency

actions and proceedings commenced or concluded prior to such effective

date provided that, if application of such provisions in any particular

case would not be feasible or would work injustice, the provisions of

article seven pertaining to juvenile delinquency actions apply thereto,

as such article seven read immediately prior to the effective date of

this article.

3. The provisions of this article do not impair or render ineffectual

any proceedings or procedural matters which occurred prior to the

effective date thereof.
