Title
Rules and Forms | Juvenile Law: Restitution Orders
(Action Required)
body
Summary
Assembly Bill 1186 (Bonta; Stats. 2024, ch. 805) amended provisions of the Penal Code and the Welfare and Institutions Code regarding restitution liability in criminal and juvenile court, including eliminating joint and several liability for co-offending children in juvenile delinquency cases. The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee recommends revising the restitution order and instructions forms to delete joint and several liability for juvenile co-offenders, address restitution apportionment in juvenile court orders, and clarify the liability of who may be ordered to pay restitution in criminal and juvenile proceedings. In addition, the committee recommends revisions to allow for use of the order when a child under informal supervision has agreed to restitution.
Recommendation
The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective July 1, 2025, revise Order for Victim Restitution (form CR-110/JV-790) and Instructions: Order for Victim Restitution (form CR-112/JV-792) to conform to statutory amendments and anticipated use cases.
