California Assembly Bill AB2830 Latest Draft

 BILL NUMBER: AB 2830AMENDED BILL TEXT AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY MARCH 17, 2016 INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Salas FEBRUARY 19, 2016  An act to amend Section 5850 of the Government Code, relating to bonds.   An act to amend Section 3301 of the Government Code, relating to public safety officers.  LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2830, as amended, Salas.  Public bodies: bonds.   Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act: additional officers subject to act.   (1) The Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act designates the specific types of public safety officers who are subject to the application of the act.   This bill would include correctional officers who are employed by a city, county, or city and county in facilities with specific types of inmates, that include, among others, parole violators and wards in the custody of the Director of the Youth and Adult Correctional Agency or Division of Juvenile Justice within the application of the act, thereby creating a state-mandated local program by imposing new duties on local agencies to follow the requirements of the act with respect to these persons.   (2) 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.   Existing law requires the interest on bonds of a public body to be payable at the times established in the resolution, indenture, agreement, or other instrument providing for the issuance of bonds, and authorizes the governing body of a public body to authorize the issuance of bonds pursuant to a resolution, indenture, agreement, or other instrument providing for the issuance of bonds. Existing law defines the terms "bonds," "public body," and "governing body" for purposes of these provisions.   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those definitions.  Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no   yes  . State-mandated local program:  no   yes  . THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:  SECTION 1.   Section 3301 of the   Government Code   is amended to read:  3301.  (a)    For purposes of this chapter, the term public safety officer means all peace officers specified in Sections 830.1, 830.2, 830.3, 830.31, 830.32, 830.33, except subdivision (e), 830.34, 830.35, except subdivision (c), 830.36, 830.37, 830.38, 830.4,  830.5,  and  830.5   830.55  of the Penal Code.  (b)    The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the rights and protections provided to peace officers under this chapter constitute a matter of statewide concern. The Legislature further finds and declares that effective law enforcement depends upon the maintenance of stable employer-employee relations, between public safety employees and their employers. In order to assure that stable relations are continued throughout the state and to further assure that effective services are provided to all people of the state, it is necessary that this chapter be applicable to all public safety officers, as defined in this section, wherever situated within the State of California.
