Juveniles: Juvenile court jurisdiction.

Existing law establishes the jurisdiction of the juvenile court over minors who are between 12 and 17 years of age, inclusive. Existing law provides that the juvenile court may maintain jurisdiction over a person until the person attains 21 years of age. Existing law establishes procedures for the detention of a minor to include the circumstances under which a peace officer may place a minor in temporary custody and the locations where the detention may take place. Existing law prescribes judgements that may be ordered by the juvenile court, including probation. This bill would extend the jurisdiction of the juvenile court to those who are between 12 and 19 years of age, inclusive. This bill would provide that the juvenile court may maintain jurisdiction over a person until the person attains 24 years of age. This bill would require detention, if necessary, take place in the minor's or youth's home, unless detention in juvenile hall is necessary for specified reasons, including for the protection of others. This bill would, among other things, limit probation to only those behaviors that are necessary for public safety and specifically related to individual risk factors, and would require minors to receive individualized family-centered, strength-based case plans when adjudged probation. This bill would make additional conforming changes.
