Title
Rules and Forms | Criminal Law and Family Law: Changes to Form MIL-100 (Action Required)
body
Summary
The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee and Criminal Law Advisory Committee recommend revising form MIL-100. The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee recommends revising form MIL-100 to implement the requirements of Family Code section 211.5, which was added by Senate Bill 1182 (Stats. 2022, ch. 385). The changes allow the court to comply with section 211.5 when the form is filed in a family law case involving a veteran. The Criminal Law Advisory Committee recommends additional revisions to form MIL-100 to clarify procedures under Penal Code section 858 when the form is filed in a criminal case and to reference treatment options for pretrial diversion under Penal Code section 1001.80. The committees also recommend updating and reformatting the information in the form for improved readability and usefulness.
Recommendation
Effective January 1, 2025, the Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee and Criminal Law Advisory Committee recommend revising Notification of Military/Veteran/Reserve/Active Status (form MIL-100) to implement Family Code section 211.5, which was added by Senate Bill 1182 (Stats. 2022, ch. 385). In addition, the committees recommend revising the form to clarify procedures under Penal Code section 858 when the form is filed in a criminal case, and update and reformat information on the form for legal accuracy and improved readability.
