SEC. 7.102. JUVENILE PROBATION.
§ 7.102
The Juvenile Probation Commission consists of seven members appointed by the Mayor for staggered four-year terms; two members come from a list submitted by the Superior Court. The Commission is part of the executive branch, and its Chief Officer and staff have powers and duties defined by state law plus any additional duties set by Board ordinance.
San Francisco has a Juvenile Probation Commission with seven members. The Mayor picks all seven, but two of them must come from names that the Superior Court suggests. These appointments last four years and rotate so not everyone's term ends at once. The Commission is part of the city's executive branch (not separate). The head of the Juvenile Probation Department and their staff have the jobs and powers that state law gives them, plus any extra duties that the Board of Supervisors adds by passing a law.
- Could be simpler:The section mixes governance structure (the Commission), removal procedures (referencing Section 15.105), concurrent service permissions, and operational duties into one dense block; separating these topics would improve clarity for lay readers.
