Recommendation
The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective September 1, 2018, revise two optional Judicial Council forms to update statutorily required legal advisements, as follows:
1. Revise Juvenile Wardship Petition (form JV-600) to update the advisement required by Welfare and Institutions Code section 656(j) to reflect the elimination of parents’ liability for fees and costs of services provided by the court or county to their children who are subject to juvenile wardship proceedings by Senate Bill 190 (Stats. 2017, ch. 678, § 11).
2. Revise Notice of Hearing-Juvenile Delinquency Proceeding (form JV-625) to update the advisements required by section 659(e), (f), and (g) to reflect the elimination of parents’ liability for fees and costs of services provided by the court or county to their children who are subject to juvenile wardship proceedings by SB 190 (Stats. 2017, ch. 678, § 12) and to make technical changes.
