Text

(a)When in any criminal proceeding in a court of this State a person has been convicted of a public offense and the person was a minor when he or she committed the offense, the court shall determine whether the person was less than 21 years of age at the time of the apprehension from which the criminal proceeding resulted. Proceedings in a juvenile court in respect to a juvenile are not criminal proceedings as that phrase is used in this chapter.

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no court shall have the power to order an adult convicted of a public offense in a court of criminal jurisdiction to be committed to the Youth Authority. This subdivision shall not apply to a transfer pursuant to Section 1731.5.
