SB 1168: Juveniles: Division of Juvenile Facilities.

Session Year: 2017-2018
House: Senate

Version:

Existing law prohibits the commitment to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Facilities of a person who has been or is adjudged a ward of the juvenile court, as specified, if the most recent offense alleged in any petition and admitted or found to be true by the court is not any of specified serious or violent offenses, or any of specified sex offenses.

This bill would instead prohibit the commitment to the division of that person if all offenses alleged in the most recent petition and admitted or found to be true by the court are not any of specified serious or violent offenses, or any of specified sex offenses.

Existing law subjects a person under 18 years of age who commits a crime to the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, which may adjudge that person to be a ward of the court, except as specified. Under existing law, juvenile court proceedings to declare a minor a ward of the court are commenced by the filing of a petition by the probation officer, the district attorney after consultation with the probation officer, or the prosecuting attorney, as specified. Existing law requires the juvenile court to order the petition of a minor who is subject to the jurisdiction of the court dismissed if the minor satisfactorily completes a term of probation or an informal program of supervision, as specified, and requires the sealing of records pertaining to that dismissed petition, as specified.This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to one of those provisions.
