OPINION
LANSING, Judge.
These consolidated certified questions raise constitutional challenges to the new extended jurisdiction juvenile statute and to the new presumption of certification applied in certain juvenile delinquency proceedings. See Minn.Stat. §§ 260.125, subd. 2a, 260.126, subd. 1(2).

We conclude that the statutes are constitutional and answer the consolidated certified questions in the negative.
