(a) If at any time following a finding that a child is incompetent to proceed the court determines that such child is a resident of a county of this state other than the county in which the court sits, the court may transfer the proceeding to the county of such child's residence.
(b) When any case is transferred, certified copies of all legal, social history, health, or mental health records pertaining to the case on file with the clerk of the court shall accompany the transfer. Compliance with this subsection shall terminate jurisdiction in the transferring court and initiate jurisdiction in the receiving court.
