CA AB2865

Requires juvenile courts to find that a minor is "not amenable to rehabilitation while under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court" before transferring the minor to criminal court under Proposition 57.

Applies to minors 16 and older charged with felonies listed in subdivision (b), and to individuals 14-15 years old charged with specified serious offenses who were not apprehended before juvenile court jurisdiction ended.

Maintains five criteria courts must consider when evaluating transfer eligibility: criminal sophistication, rehabilitative potential, prior delinquent history, success of previous rehabilitation attempts, and circumstances and gravity of the offense.

Designates this as a state-mandated local program that may require state reimbursement to local agencies for increased costs unless covered by 2011 Realignment Legislation funding.

Declares the bill's provisions are consistent with and further the intent of Proposition 57 from the November 2016 election.
