BILL NUMBER: AB 1433INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Gatto JANUARY 6, 2014 An act to amend Section 67381 of the Education Code, relating to student safety, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1433, as introduced, Gatto. Student safety. Existing law, the Kristin Smart Campus Safety Act of 1998, requires the governing boards of each community college district, the Trustees of the California State University, the Regents of the University of California, and the governing boards of independent postsecondary institutions to adopt rules requiring each of their respective campuses to enter into a written agreement with local law enforcement agencies relating to Part 1 violent crimes. Existing law requires the written agreement to designate which law enforcement agency has operational responsibility for the investigation of each Part 1 violent crime and delineate the specific geographical boundaries of each agency's operational responsibility, including maps as necessary. This bill would provide that the written agreement shall also require any report of a Part 1 violent crime or hate crime received by a campus law enforcement agency to be immediately reported to the appropriate local law enforcement agency if the victim consents, and forbid such a report absent that consent. By requiring community college districts and local law enforcement agency to enter into a written agreement in regard to a new obligation, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute. Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.
