§ 301.3. Applicability of article to actions and matters occurring
before and after effective date. 1. The provisions of this article apply
exclusively to:

article which do not constitute a part of any particular action or case,
occurring upon or after such effective date.

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

after such effective date which relate or attach to juvenile delinquency
actions and proceedings commenced or concluded prior to such effective
