OPINION OF THE COURT
Albert M. Rosenblatt, J.
At issue is the constitutionality of certain provisions of the juvenile offender law of 1978. (See, generally, L 1978, ch 481.)
The legislation, among other things, lowers the age of criminal responsibility for certain violent crimes, by creating a class of "juvenile offender” (Penal Law, § 10.00, subd 18; L 1978, ch 481, § 27, eff Sept. 1, 1978), whose cases are to be treated in accordance with a host of procedural statutes, including provisions contemplating retention of cases within the criminal court system, or their removal to Family Court.
