CA AB2573

Authorizes juvenile courts to assume or resume transition jurisdiction over nonminors aged 18-20 (or up to 21 under certain circumstances) who were in foster care when they turned 18, without requiring that their rehabilitative goals have been met.

Allows the court to consider resuming transition jurisdiction based solely on whether the nonminor intends to satisfy at least one criterion for AFDC-FC eligibility and agrees to supervised placement under a voluntary reentry agreement.

Requires the placing agency to file a petition to resume jurisdiction within 15 judicial days of the nonminor signing a voluntary reentry agreement, unless the nonminor chooses to file earlier.

Mandates that a new transitional independent living case plan be prepared within 60 calendar days of the voluntary reentry agreement and submitted to the court for a review hearing within 70 days.

Establishes this as a state-mandated local program subject to reimbursement under Government Code procedures if the Commission on State Mandates determines it contains state-mandated costs.
