AB 1689: Juvenile courts: temporary probate guardianship.
What AB 1689 does, verified September 6, 2026
The bill aims to clarify the jurisdiction of the juvenile court in cases where a child has been temporarily appointed as a guardian by a probate court. In such cases, the juvenile court can order the termination or suspension of the temporary guardianship if it is deemed in the best interest of the child, or if it is necessary to avoid conflicting court orders or temporary placement of the child. This allows the juvenile court to take a more active role in cases where a child has been referred to a child welfare agency and have been previously appointed a temporary guardian.
