Description
Summary: The Criminal Law Advisory Committee recommends revisions to the optional Judicial Council form used by defendants to state financial eligibility for appointment of counsel and record on appeal at public expense to reflect the repeal of Penal Code section 987.8 by Assembly Bill 1869 (Stats. 2020, ch. 92). The repeal of section 987.8 removed the authority of the court to make a post proceeding determination of the defendant’s ability to pay and to order the defendant to reimburse the county for the costs of the public defender. Deadline: Comments must be submitted by Friday, January 20, 2023 at, 5:00 PM (Pacific Time)
