California AB2636 modifies juvenile court procedures for deferred entry of judgment eligibility.

California AB2636 amends Section 790 of the Welfare and Institutions Code to adjust the criteria for deferred entry of judgment for minors. The bill allows courts to adjudicate cases without determining the minor’s suitability if the case is transferred to another county. It also sets specific conditions for eligibility, including the minor’s age, prior commitments, and offense type. The prosecuting attorney must file a declaration if the minor is found eligible for deferred entry of judgment.
