PEN §1203g: (a) Notwithstanding Section 1203a, for a violation of shoplifting, as defined in Section 459.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 1203a, for a violation of shoplifting, as defined in Section 459.5, or petty theft, as described in Section 488 or 490.2, the court may suspend the imposition or execution of the sentence and make and enforce the terms of probation for a period not to exceed two years. (b) If a court imposes a term of probation that exceeds the maximum period of time specified in subdivision (a) of Section 1203a, the court, as a condition of probation, shall consider referring the defendant to a collaborative court or rehabilitation program that is relevant to the underlying factor or factors that led to the commission of the offense. If the defendant who is referred to a rehabilitative program is under 25 years of age, the court shall, to the extent such a program is available, refer the defendant to a program modeled on healing-centered, restorative, trauma-informed, and positive youth development approaches and that is provided in collaboration with community-based organizations. If the court finds that referral to a collaborative court or rehabilitation program is not an appropriate condition of probation, it must state the reasons for its finding on the record. (c) Upon successful completion of the rehabilitation program, as determined by the program provider, or successful participation in the collaborative court, as determined by the collaborative court, the court shall discharge the defendant from probation. (d) Participation in a collaborative court or a rehabilitation program by the defendant shall not exceed the maximum period of time of probation specified in subdivision (a), except with the consent of the defendant.
