AB 1886: Wards: probation.
What AB 1886 does, verified August 22, 2026
The bill would remove the 12-month limitation on probation for wards under the supervision of a probation officer for placement in out-of-home placements. This change would allow wards who have been discharged from a secure youth treatment facility to remain on probation for a longer period. The bill would also extend this provision to wards whose commitment to a secure youth treatment facility was set aside. The court would have the authority to extend a period of probation, but would not be able to impose terms or conditions on the ward during this extended period.
