Title
Rules and Forms | Judicial Branch Education: Sunset of Pandemic-Related Deadline Extensions (Action Required)
body
Summary
Pandemic-related deadline extensions, contained within rule 10.492 of the California Rules of Court, provided judicial officers and judicial branch personnel additional time to complete continuing education requirements. By its sunset provision, the rule ceased to have effect on December 31, 2024. The Center for Judicial Education and Resources Advisory Committee now recommends the Judicial Council make a technical amendment to repeal rule 10.492 in its entirety to eliminate any actual or potential confusion that the extensions may remain in effect.
Recommendation
The Center for Judicial Education and Resources Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective January 1, 2026, repeal rule 10.492 of the California Rules of Court to eliminate any actual or potential confusion that the pandemic-related deadline extensions for continuing education remain in place.
