           SUMMARY  :  Makes necessary statutory and technical changes to 
          implement changes to the Budget Act of 2012 relating to public 
          safety.

           The Senate amendments  delete the Assembly version of this bill, 
          and instead: 

          1)Stipulate at least one party demanding a jury on each side of 
            a civil case shall pay a non-refundable fee of $150, unless 
            the fee has been paid by another party on the same side of the 
            case.  Also specifies that the fee shall be due at least five 
            days prior to the trial date for unlawful detainer actions and 
            the fees shall offset state costs for providing juries in 
            civil cases.  

          2)Exclude Division of Juvenile Justice wards impacted by In re 
            C.H. from recently enacted statute SB 1021 (Budget and Fiscal 
            Review Committee), Chapter 41, Statutes of 2012, which changed 
            the maximum age of jurisdiction for all Division of Juvenile 
            Justice wards to 23.  Division of Juvenile Justice wards 
            committed pursuant to In re C.H. have a maximum jurisdiction 
            age of 21 and should not have been included in the 
            jurisdiction age change made by SB 1021.  

          3)Clarify the operative date for the recently enacted 
            prohibition on the use of time-adds in Division of Juvenile 
            Justice facilities.

          4)Remove requirement for the Division of Juvenile Justice to 
            promulgate regulations relating to ward discharge 
            consideration date delays.

                                                                  Page  2


          5)Contain an appropriation allowing this bill to take effect 
            immediately upon enactment.

           AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY  , this bill expressed the intent of the 
          Legislature to enact statutory changes relating to the Budget 
          Act of 2012.
