AB1968

Juveniles: transfer to court of criminal jurisdiction: offense.

Failed·4/21/26

California AB1968 amends juvenile court procedures for transferring minors to criminal court.

California AB1968 revises the criteria for transferring minors to criminal court, emphasizing factors like the minor's criminal sophistication, previous rehabilitation attempts, and the gravity of the offense. The juvenile court must weigh these factors and decide if the minor is amenable to rehabilitation. If not, the minor can be transferred to criminal court. The bill also specifies offenses that trigger the transfer process, including serious violent crimes and certain felonies.
