Source-supplied abstracts

Existing law subjects a minor between 12 and 17 years of age, inclusive, who violates any federal, state, or local law or ordinance, who persistently or habitually refuses to obey the reasonable and proper orders or directions of the minor's parents, guardian, or custodian, or who is beyond the control of that person, who violates an ordinance establishing a curfew or is truant, and a minor under 12 years of age who is alleged to have committed specified serious offenses to the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, which may adjudge the minor to be a ward of the court. Existing law authorizes the court to make any reasonable orders for the care, supervision, custody, conduct, maintenance, and support of the ward, including ordering the ward to be on probation without the supervision of the probation officer or ordering the care, custody, and control of the ward to be under the supervision of the probation officer who may place the ward in specified out-of-home placements. Existing law limits to 12 months from the most recent disposition hearing the period of time a ward may remain on probation, except, among other things, the limit does not apply to a ward ordered under the supervision of the probation officer for placement in specified out-of-home placements and a ward who is transferred or discharged from a secure youth treatment facility. This bill would remove the exclusion of wards that have been ordered to be under the supervision of the probation officer for placement in specified out-of-home placements from the 12-month limitation described above. The bill would authorize the court to extend a period of probation to comply with specified provisions, but would prohibit the court from imposing terms and conditions of probation or any other conditions of performance or compliance on the ward during this period of extended jurisdiction. The bill would specify that these provisions do not apply to a ward who has been committed to a secure youth treatment facility during the term of commitment.
