Three (3) new proposals to amend the California Rules of Court have been posted to the California Courts web site, at http://www.courts.ca.gov/policyadmin-invitationstocomment.htm.
SP14-06: Judicial Administration: Rule for Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee
This proposal would amend California Rules of Court, rule 10.64, the rule for the Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee, to make a change to the membership category for presiding judges. It would provide that “presiding judge,” as used in the rule, means a current presiding judge or an immediate past presiding judge.
The deadline for comments is 5:00 p.m., Friday, September 19, 2014.
SP14-07: Judicial Administration: Rules for Advisory Groups
This proposal would adopt California Rules of Court for three Judicial Council advisory committees and amend three rules: two for advisory committees and one that addresses concurrent membership on the council and a council advisory committee.
The deadline for comments is 5:00 p.m., Friday, October 3, 2014.
SP14-08: Criminal Justice Realignment: Imposition of Mandatory Supervision
The Criminal Law Advisory Committee proposes amendments to rules 4.411 and 4.411.5 of the California Rules of Court and adoption of a new rule to govern the imposition of mandatory supervision under Penal Code section 1170(h)(5), including criteria for court consideration and contents and requirements for related probation reports. The proposal was developed in response to recent legislation that requires the Judicial Council to adopt these rules by January 1, 2015.
The deadline for comments is 5:00 p.m., Friday, September 19, 2014.
