THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

                             CHAPTER XIIA

or law of the state or of the United States. If the court enters


into an agreement under section 2e of this chapter, the court has

 

jurisdiction over a juvenile who committed a civil infraction as

 

provided in that section. The court has jurisdiction over a

revised judicature act of 1961, 1961 PA 236, MCL 600.606, and if

 

the circuit court orders the family division of circuit court in

 

the same county to place the juvenile in that home. The family

 

division of circuit court shall comply with that order.

 

     (g) Authority to place a juvenile in a county jail under

 

section 27a of chapter IV of the code of criminal procedure, 1927

 

PA 175, MCL 764.27a, if the court designates the case under section

 

2d of this chapter as a case in which the juvenile is to be tried

 

in the same manner as an adult and the court determines there is

 

probable cause to believe that the offense was committed and

 

probable cause to believe the juvenile committed that offense.

 

     (h) Jurisdiction over a proceeding under section 2950 or 2950a
