California AB2636 modifies juvenile court procedures for minors charged with certain felony offenses.

California AB2636 amends Section 790 of the Welfare and Institutions Code to allow juvenile courts to grant deferred entry of judgment for minors charged with certain felony offenses. This applies when the minor has not previously been declared a ward of the court for a felony, the offense is not listed in Section 707, and other specific conditions are met. The court may transfer the case to the minor's county of residence to determine suitability for deferred entry of judgment. The prosecuting attorney must review the case and file a declaration with the court if the minor is found eligible.
