Recommendation
Recommendation
The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective January 1, 2019:
1. Amend rule 5.610(c) of the California Rules of Court to delete the specific findings drawn from sections 375 and 750 and replace them with cross-references to those code sections;
2. Repeal rule 5.614 of the California Rules of Court because it simply restates the text in sections 380 and 755;
3. Adopt rule 5.614 of the California Rules of Court governing intercounty placements;
4. Approve Notice of Intent to Place Child Out of County (form JV-555) for optional use; and
5. Approve Objection to Out-of-County Placement and Notice of Hearing (form JV-556) for optional use.
