Title
Juvenile Law: Commitment to Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (Action Required)
body
Summary
The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee proposes revising the Judicial Council order form for the commitment of a person found to be a ward eligible for commitment to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Division of Juvenile Facilities (DJF) to ensure that the form reflects legally accurate commitment procedures. The form revisions would ensure that the court provides complete and accurate information needed for the acceptance of youth by the Division of Juvenile Facilities, thus avoiding unnecessary delays in the court’s disposition orders
Recommendation
The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective September 1, 2017, revise Commitment to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Facilities (form JV-732) to guide the court in providing complete and accurate information needed for the acceptance of youth by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Division of Juvenile Facilities, thus avoiding unnecessary delays in the court’s disposition orders.
