Summary
Summary
Various members of the judicial branch, members of the public, and Judicial Council staff have identified errors in the California Rules of Court and Judicial Council forms resulting from input errors, as well as minor changes needed to conform to changes in law or previous council actions. Judicial Council staff recommend making the necessary corrections to ensure that the rules and forms conform to law and to avoid causing confusion for court users, clerks, and judicial officers.

Recommendation
Recommendation
Judicial Council staff recommend that the council, take the following actions:
Effective July 1, 2023:
1. Amend Appendix B of the California Rules of Court to adjust the maximum liability of the parent or guardian having custody and control of a minor for the willful misconduct of the minor, under Civil Code section 1714.1(a) or (b), from $47,100 to $52,700.
Effective January 1, 2024:
2. Amend rule 8.13 to change the cross-reference to the Supreme Court rules in division 5 of title 8, to division 7 of title 8, where the referenced rules are now located.
3. Revise Request for Child Custody and Visitation Orders (form DV-105) to add to item 7b “Child’s Employment (including volunteer and unpaid positions),” as an option, to make it consistent with the order form (DV-140).
4. Revise Child Custody and Visitation Order (form DV-140) to replace an incorrect reference to “DV-105” in item 3, with the correct reference to “DV-140.” Additionally, add “county” as an option in item 4, consistent with the request form (DV-105), which allows the requester to ask for a no travel order for specified counties.
5. Revise Can a Domestic Violence Restraining Order Help Me?
(form DV-500-INFO) to update two hyperlinks to the California self-help guide.
6. Revise How to Ask for a Domestic Violence Restraining Order
(form DV-505-INFO), to add back “form CLETS-001” under the information in Part 1 as a form that must be completed to request a domestic violence restraining order (this was inadvertently omitted in the last set of revisions to this form), and update a hyperlink to the California self-help guide.
7. Revise Notice of Request for Approval of Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program or Community Treatment Facility Without a Hearing (form JV-240) to delete the first sentence and check boxes in item 3. The changes are technical in nature and necessary to remove content that is duplicative of item 2 and likely to cause confusion because it is not relevant to the information provided in item 3.
