SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF SONOMA FE | L E In Re: First Amended Omnibus General Order of the Presiding Judge re Court Operations (4-28-2020) On March 16, 2020, and in consideration of the public health crisis currently affecting our state, local, national, and international communities, the Sonoma County Superior Court issued an order limiting access to the Hall of Justice, Civil and Family Courthouse, the Juvenile Justice Center and the Empire Annex. On March 16, 2020, this Court issued an emergency implementation order under the authority of the March 16, 2020 Order of Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye, Chair of the Judicial Council of California, issued in response to the March 16, 2020 request for an emergency order made by the Superior Court of Sonoma County pursuant to Government Code § 68115. On March 17, 2020, the County of Sonoma Public Health Officer issued an order directing all individuals living in Sonoma County to shelter at their place of residence except that they may leave to provide or receive certain essential services or engage in certain essential activities and work for essential businesses and governmental services to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. On March 19, 2020, the Governor of California issued an order directing all Californians to shelter in place at their place of residence except as needed to maintain continuity of operations of the federal critical infrastructure sectors to protect public health and ensure the healthcare delivery system is capable of serving all and prioritizing those at the highest risk and vulnerability. On March 23, 2020, Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye, Chair of the Judicial Council of California, issued a statewide order addressing additional issues raised by the ongoing pandemic. On March 27, 2020, this Court issued a supplemental emergency implementation order under the authority of the March 27, 2020 Order of Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil- Sakauye, Chair of the Judicial Council of California, pursuant to Government Code § 68115. On March 28, 2020, the Judicial Council of California unanimously approved

recommendations which have been enacted statewide by Order of the Chief Justice on March 30, 2020. On April 1, 2020 this Court issued a General Order Re: Implementation of Emergency Relief Authorized by Chair of Judicial Council. On April 6, 2020, the Judicial Council adopted Emergency Rules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 of the California Rules of Court. On April 17, 2020, the Judicial Council adopted Emergency Rule 12, and on April 20, 2020 adopted Emergency Rule 13 of the California Rules of Court. A full set of the Emergency Rules to date are attached hereto as Exhibit A-1. On April 16, 2020 the Court issued Omnibus General Order of the Presiding Judge re Court Operations. Essential functions of the Superior Court at this time are limited to proceedings that are required to comply with defendants’ constitutional rights, protect the health and safety of parties and address jail population concerns. Protection of public health and safety in connection with the COVID-19 threat has resulted or is expected to result in significant interference with Superior Court services and proceedings. Accordingly, and for the foregoing reasons, under the authority granted to me by the Chief Justice in her orders pursuant to Government Code, section 68115 dated March 16, 2020 and March 30, 2020, and her statewide orders dated March 23, 2020 and March 30, 2020,and for good cause shown, this court HEREBY FINDS AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS: This order supersedes any previous orders of the Court dealing with the same subject herein, and in the event of inconsistencies this order controls. Court Operations: Unless the Sonoma County Health Officer’s shelter in place order is extended, it is anticipated that all courthouse locations will resume normal business operations on Monday June 1, 2020. Until June 1, 2020, the court is not open to the general public at any of the court locations, and only required persons, including, but not limited to, litigants, parties, lawyers with matters on calendar, witnesses and jurors, are allowed access to the courthouses. Between the effective date of this order, and May 31, 2020, the court will continue to provide essential services as outlined in this order, Whether the

court locations will reopen is subject to compliance with further orders of the Sonoma County Health Officer. All persons authorized to enter any court location must comply with all active orders of the Sonoma County Health Officer and any other health and safety measures required by the Court. As of April 15, 2020, the respective clerks’ offices are filing documents—however the offices remain closed to the public until June 1, 2020.

At the review, the court must determine the continued necessity for and appropriateness of the placement; the extent of compliance with the case plan or available services that have been offered; the extent of progress which has been made toward alleviating or mitigating the causes necessitating placement; and the projected likely date by which the child may return home or placed permanently. it The court may continue the matter for a full hearing on all dispositional findings and orders. (B) A judicial determination of reasonable efforts must be made within 12 months of the date a child enters foster care to maintain a child’s federal title IV-E availability. Ifa permanency hearing is continued beyond the 12-month date, the court must review the case to determine if the agency has made reasonable efforts to return the child home or arrange for the child to be placed permanently. This finding can be made without prejudice and may be reconsidered ata full hearing. During the state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic, previously authorized visitation must continue, but the child welfare agency is to determine the manner of visitation to ensure that the needs of the family are met. If the child welfare agency changes the manner of visitation for a child and a parent or legal guardian in reunification, or for the child and a sibling(s), or a hearing is pending under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366,26, the child welfare agency must notify the attorneys for the children and parents within 5 court days of the change. All changes in manner of visitation during this time period must be made on a case by case basis, balance the public health directives and best interest of the child, and take into consideration whether in-person visitation may continue to be held safely. Family time is important for child and parent well-being, as well as for efforts toward reunification. Family time is especially important during times of crisis. Visitation may only be suspended if a detriment finding is made in a particular case based on the facts unique to that case, A detriment finding must not be based solely on the existence of the impact of the state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic or related public health directives. (A) The attorney for the child or parent may ask the juvenile court to review the change in manner of visitation. The child or parent has the

(B) A request for the court to review the change in visitation during this time period must be made within 14 court days of the change. In reviewing the change in visitation, the court should take into consideration the factors in (c)(7). (d) Sunset of rule This rule will remain in effect until 90 days after the Governor declares that the state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic is lifted, or until amended or repealed by the Judicial Council. Advisory Committee Comment When courts are unable to hold regular proceedings because of an emergency that has resulted in an order as authorized under Government Code section 68115, federal timelines do not stop. Circumstances may arise where reunification services to the parent, including visitation, may not occur or be provided. The court must consider the circumstances of the emergency when deciding whether to extend or terminate reunification services and whether services were reasonable given the state of the emergency.

Advisory Committee Comment This emergency rule is being adopted in part to ensure that detention hearings for juveniles in delinquency court must be held in a timely manner to ensure that no child is detained who does not need to be detained to protect the child or the community. The statutory scheme for juveniles who come under the jurisdiction of the delinquency court is focused on the rehabilitation of the child and thus makes detention of a child the exceptional practice, rather than the rule. Juvenile courts are able to use their broad discretion under current law to release detained juveniles to protect the health of those
