Bill Summary

An act to amend Section 707 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to juveniles.

AI Summary

This bill would add conspiracy to commit murder to the list of serious offenses for which a minor aged 14 or 15 could be transferred from juvenile court to a criminal court, provided they were not apprehended before the juvenile court's jurisdiction ended. Existing law, as modified by Proposition 57 in 2016, already allows for such transfers for minors aged 16 and older who commit felonies, or for minors aged 14 or 15 who commit certain specified serious offenses. The bill aims to expand the types of offenses that can trigger this transfer process, allowing prosecutors to seek criminal court jurisdiction for juveniles involved in conspiracy to commit murder.
