California Assembly Bill 1886 (Assemblymember Sade Elhawary) will ensure that all youth on non-custodial wardship probation, regardless of their housing status or placement type, benefit from the clear timelines, individualized conditions, and developmentally appropriate standards established by AB 1376 (2025).  

AB 1886 would achieve this by reversing the current exclusion of youth in out-of-home placements (foster youth on probation) and youth transitioning from Secure Youth Treatment Facilities (SYTFs) from AB 1376’s safeguards. By doing so, this bill would prevent prolonged, open-ended probation that undermines rehabilitation, disrupts development, and deepens system involvement.
