Summary

(1) Existing law establishes the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, which is permitted to adjudge certain children to be dependents of the court under certain circumstances, and prescribes various hearings and other procedures for these purposes. Existing law prohibits the court from terminating dependency jurisdiction over a nonminor who has reached 18 years of age until a hearing is conducted and the county welfare department has submitted a report verifying that specified information, documents, and services have been provided to the nonminor. This bill would require the county welfare department to include in its reports submitted at various hearings, including, among others, the first regularly scheduled review hearing after a dependent child has attained 16 years of age and the last regularly scheduled review hearing before a dependent child attains 18 years of age, a verification that the child has been provided written information notifying the child of federal, state, and local programs available to assist the child with obtaining housing and a written fact sheet the child may offer to a prospective landlord that explains the child's rights as a tenant. By increasing the duties of county welfare departments, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
