If a juvenile is not convicted of an offense set forth in N.J.S.A 2A:4A-26.1(c)(2), a conviction for any other offense shall be deemed a juvenile adjudication and be remanded to the Family Part for disposition, in accordance with the dispositional options available to the Family Part and all records related to the act of delinquency shall be subject to the provisions of section 1 of P.L. 1982, c.79 (C.2A:4A-60).
