Recommendation
Recommendation
Judicial Council staff recommend that the Judicial Council, effective September 24, 2018, amend:
1. Rule 5.552 of the California Rules of Court to correct a typographical error in rule 5.552(b) that erroneously refers to the Request for Disclosure of Juvenile Case File as form “7-570” instead of “JV-570”; and
2. The heading of article 2 of chapter 13 of division 3 of title 5 from “Fitness Hearings” to “Hearing on Transfer of Jurisdiction to Criminal Court” to make it consistent with the language in Welfare and Institutions Code section 707 and the amended rules of court.
