If for some stupid reason B wanted to decline the penalty, where would the succeeding spot be?
I'm at work and without my rulebook so I can't check this for myself.
Thanks!

Canadian Amateur Rules:
It may be that the "neutral zone" here in Canada differs from NF and NC2A rules, but if the above did happen using Cdn rules, we would have a flag for an illegal forward pass. Note that this is not a foul, but just that a team has given up the right to advnace the ball. A flag will be thrown only to mark the spot of release, in this case, the A23.
So, A 2/7 from the A-23.
Ooopps! Let me re-do this:
This sitch falls into one of two possibilities.
(a) the pass across the LS was an oopsie by the QB - he didn't realize that he was across the LS
(b) the pass across the LS was obviously designed to be a forward pass - the QB had reasonable knowledge that he was across the LS
(a) Penalty: A 2/7 from the A-23.
(b) Penalty: L10 from PLS, DR.
