Existing law requires the Judicial Council, when allocating funding to trial courts, to set a preliminary allocation, as specified. Existing law requires the Judicial Council to hold in reserve specified funds to be available to trial courts for emergencies, and to administer those funds, as specified.

Existing law exempts certain funds from the calculation of the 1% authorized to be carried over from the prior fiscal year.This bill would repeal the 1% limitation described above, and, instead, would allow the Judicial Council to authorize a trial court to carry unexpended funds over from one fiscal year to the next.Existing law provides that every person confined in the state prison, a local detention facility, or a facility of the Division of Juvenile Justice, who commits a battery upon any peace officer or employee of that facility by gassing, which is throwing of any human excrement, bodily fluids or substances or any mixture thereof at a person, is guilty of a felony. Existing law prescribes certain procedures to be followed by a correctional facility in cases involving gassing, including the preservation and forensic testing of the substance to confirm the presence of excrement of other bodily fluids or substances.This bill would instead authorize, but not require, the testing of the substance, if, in consultation with the local district attorney, that testing is necessary to obtain sufficient evidence to prosecute the offense.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
