Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024

For the purpose of the regulations contained in this chapter, the following words shall have the following meanings:

Incorrigible: "Incorrigible" means the person is impervious to change, or displays willfully unalterable, or not reformable behavior. Observed behavior must extend over a period of time and be reasonably frequent; a single incident is not sufficient in itself to establish incorrigibility. Rather, a pattern of unacceptable behavior is required.

Incapable of Reformation: "Incapable of reformation" means that a person lacks the necessary ability, competence or motivation to change from criminal to noncriminal behavior.

1. Change without regulatory effect adopting chapter 13 (articles 1-4, sections 31500-31535), article 1 (section 31500) and renumbering title 15, section 4175.5 to title 9, section 31500 filed 2-13-2020 pursuant to section 100, title 1, California Code of Regulations (Register 2020, No. 7).
