27757
. (a) Except as otherwise ordered by the juvenile court, a
county financial evaluation officer, upon satisfactory proof, may
reduce, cancel, or remit the costs and charges listed in Sections
903, 903.1, 903.2, 903.3, and 903.45 of the Welfare and Institutions
Code, or established by order of the juvenile court.
(b) The county financial evaluation officer may, following entry of an order by the juvenile court that a minor person be represented by the public defender or private attorney or be placed under the probation supervision of the probation officer or be placed or detained in, or committed to, a county institution or other place, make an investigation to determine the moneys, the property, or interest in property, if any, the minor person has, and whether he or she has a duly appointed and acting guardian to protect his or her property interests. The county financial evaluation officer may also make an investigation to determine whether the minor person has any relative or relatives responsible under the provisions of this chapter, and may ascertain the financial condition of that relative or those relatives to determine whether they are financially able to pay such charges.
(c) In any case where a county has expended money for the support and maintenance of any ward, dependent child or other minor person, or has furnished support and maintenance, and the court has not made an order of reimbursement to the county, in whole or in part, as provided by law, or the court has made and subsequently revoked such an order, if the ward, dependent child or other minor person or parent, guardian, or other person liable for the support of the ward, dependent child or other minor person acquires property, money, or estate subsequent to the date the juvenile court assumed jurisdiction over the ward, dependent child or minor person, or subsequent to the date the order of reimbursement was revoked, the county shall have a claim for said reimbursement against the ward, dependent child or other minor person or parent, guardian or other person responsible for such support and maintenance. Such claim shall be enforced by the county financial evaluation officer or the local child support agency, as the case may be.
(b) The county financial evaluation officer may, following entry of an order by the juvenile court that a minor person be represented by the public defender or private attorney or be placed under the probation supervision of the probation officer or be placed or detained in, or committed to, a county institution or other place, make an investigation to determine the moneys, the property, or interest in property, if any, the minor person has, and whether he or she has a duly appointed and acting guardian to protect his or her property interests. The county financial evaluation officer may also make an investigation to determine whether the minor person has any relative or relatives responsible under the provisions of this chapter, and may ascertain the financial condition of that relative or those relatives to determine whether they are financially able to pay such charges.
