JuCR
                          RULE 7.6
                    ARRAIGNMENT AND PLEAS

    (a) Time and Procedure for Arraignment. A juvenile who
is detained or subject to conditions of release must be
arraigned within 14 days after the information or indictment
is filed. The procedure for the arraignment of an alleged
juvenile offender is governed by CrR 4.1.
    (b) Plea. The taking of a plea of an alleged juvenile
offender is governed by CrR 4.2.
    (c) Advice of Standard Sentence. Before entering a plea,
the juvenile should be advised of the standard sentence for
the offense charged, and should be advised of the criminal
history upon which the standard sentence is based.
    (d) Effect of Motion To Decline Jurisdiction. If a
decline hearing is requested or required, then the juvenile
court has no jurisdiction to accept a plea until a decline
hearing is held and an order is entered retaining
jurisdiction in the juvenile court. The time limit for the
adjudicatory hearing under rule 7.8 does not begin to run
until the day after the entry of the order retaining
jurisdiction.
    (e) Determination of Capacity.  When a determination of
capacity is required pursuant to RCW 9A.04.050, a hearing to
determine the juvenile's capacity shall be held within 14
days from the juvenile's first court appearance, separate
from and prior to arraignment.  Notice of the hearing to
determine capacity and its purpose shall be given in
accordance with rule 11.2.

The revision provides clarification with regard to
applicability and addresses implementation problems caused
by linking the time for the capacity hearing to the filing
of the information.
