Los Angeles County Preparing To Move Juvenile Offenders From State To County Supervision
On May 26, 2020, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (BOS) approved a motion to create the county’s plan to move juvenile offenders in state custody to county supervision. The county’s effort is in response to the governor’s May 14 announcement of plans to close the state’s Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ).

The closure is partly a response to close a state budget . . .
