BILL NUMBER: SB 340INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Senator Jackson FEBRUARY 20, 2013 An act to repeal Section 13779 of the Penal Code, relating to law enforcement. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 340, as introduced, Jackson. Law enforcement: anti-reproductive-rights crimes. Existing law, the Reproductive Rights Law Enforcement Act, requires the Attorney General to assume specified duties relating to planning, information gathering, and analysis with respect to anti-reproductive-rights crimes, as defined, including consultation with specified subject matter experts. Existing law also requires the convening of an advisory committee that is responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of existing law. Existing law requires the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to develop an optional course of training for law enforcement agencies regarding anti-reproductive-rights crimes, as specified. Existing law provides for the repeal of these provisions as of January 1, 2014. This bill would make existing law operative indefinitely. Because the bill would extend the operative date of provisions that would impose reporting requirements on local governments, the 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. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
