AB 1968: Juveniles: transfer to court of criminal jurisdiction: offense.

Existing law, as amended by the Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act of 2016, enacted by Proposition 57 at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, authorizes the district attorney or other prosecuting officer to make a motion to transfer a minor from juvenile court to a court of criminal jurisdiction in a case in which a minor is alleged to have committed a felony when the minor was 16 years of age or older, or in a case in which a specified serious offense is alleged to have been committed by a minor when the minor was 14 or 15 years of age, but the minor was not apprehended prior to the end of juvenile court jurisdiction.

This bill would add the crime of conspiracy to commit murder to the list of offenses for which a juvenile may be transferred to a court of criminal jurisdiction pursuant to the above-described provisions.
