SB 514, as amended, Committee on Public Safety. Crimes.
(1) Existing law provides that anyone who is convicted of a felony violation of specified crimes who is employed by a department, board, or authority within the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall be terminated in accordance with the State Civil Service Act. Existing law also provides that anyone who has been convicted of a felony violation of specified crimes shall not be eligible to be hired or reinstated by a department, board, or authority within the department.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this provision.
(2) Except as specified, when a public offense is committed in part in one jurisdictional territory and in part in another, jurisdictional territory or the acts or effects thereof constituting or requisite to the consummation of the offense occur in 2 or more jurisdictional territories, the jurisdiction for the offense is in any competent court within either jurisdictional territory.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
(3) Existing law requires that if a person is granted probation for a crime in which the victim is a specified person, the terms of probation must include, but are not limited to, a minimum period of probation of 36 months, which may include a period of summary probation as appropriate, and successful completion of a batterer’s program, as defined, or if none is available, another appropriate counseling program designated by the court, as specified. Existing law requires the court or the probation department to refer defendants only to batterer’s program that follow specified standards, which may include, but are not limited to, lectures, classes, group discussions, and counseling. Existing law confers upon the probation department sole authority to approve a batterer’s program for probation, and the program must obtain only one approval but must renew that approval annually. Existing law makes an act or omission relating to the approval of a batterer’s treatment program a discretionary act.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to the latter provision.
(4) Existing law permits a specified person, upon reaching 18 years of age and by reason of the commission of a specified offense, to petition the court to have his or her record sealed, except that, as pertaining to any records regarding the commission of a specified offense, it is not a requirement in granting the petition for the person to show that he or she has not been convicted of a felony or of any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or that rehabilitation has been attained to the satisfaction of the court. Existing law requires that upon granting the petition, all records relating to specified violations be sealed. Existing law makes this relief inapplicable to a person convicted of specified offenses.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
(5) Existing law requires the Director of Finance to, in consultation with the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, the Chief Probation Officers of California, and the Administrative Office of the Courts, after the conclusion of each calendar year following the enactment of this section, make specified calculations for that calendar year. Under existing law, these calculations include, but are not limited to, the cost to the state to incarcerate in prison and supervise on parole a probationer sent to prison, and the statewide probation to prison rate, as specified.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to the latter provision.
(6) Existing law permits the surety insurer, the bail agent, the surety, or the depositor to file a motion, based upon good cause, for an order to extend the 180-day period following forfeiture of the undertaking of bail or the money or property deposited as bail, as specified. Existing law permits the court, upon a hearing and a showing of good cause, to order the period extended to a time not exceeding 180 days from its order. Existing law permits a motion to be filed and calendared, as specified.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to the latter provision.
begin insert(7) Existing law requires that in all felony and misdemeanor convictions, either by plea or by verdict, when the defendant has been in custody, all specified days of custody of the defendant shall be credited upon his or her term of imprisonment, or credited to any fine on a proportional basis, including, but not limited to, base fines and restitution fines, which may be imposed, at the rate of not less than $30 per day, or more, in the discretion of the court imposing the sentence. Existing law requires that in any case where the court has imposed both a prison or jail term and a fine, any days to be credited to the defendant shall first be applied to the term of imprisonment imposed, and thereafter the remaining days, if any, shall be applied to the fine, including, but not limited to, a base fine and a restitution fine, on a proportional basis.
end insertbegin insertThis bill would delete restitution fines from the preceding provisions, thereby prohibiting a defendant from applying any credit earned for spending specified days in custody, jail, or prison toward restitution fines.
end insertbegin insert(8) Existing law requires any city, county, city and county, or district that desires to receive specified state aid to make application to the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training for the aid. That aid is paid out of the Peace Officers’ Training Fund, a continuously appropriated fund. Under existing law, the public agencies comprising a joint powers agency may jointly exercise any power common to the public agencies.
end insertbegin insertThis bill would specify that any joint powers agency that desires to receive specified state aid also make application to the commission for the aid. The bill would clarify that a joint powers agency may be paid directly from the fund, and the bill would also make conforming changes to those provisions.

22probation. If the court finds that the defendant is not performing
23satisfactorily in the assigned program, is not benefiting from the

25engaged in criminal conduct, the court shall terminate the
26defendant’s participation in the program and shall proceed with

5to the probation department for the initial investigation, as directed
6by the court, or the failure to enroll in a specified program, as

8possible further incarceration. The court, in the interests of justice,
9
may relieve the defendant from the prohibition set forth in this
10subdivision based upon the defendant’s mistake or excusable
11neglect. Application for this relief shall be filed within 20 court
12days of the missed deadline. This time limitation may not be

30scale that recognizes both the defendant’s ability to pay and the
31necessity of programs to meet overhead expenses. An indigent
32defendant may negotiate a deferred payment schedule, but shall
33pay a nominal fee, if the defendant has the ability to pay the
34nominal fee. Upon a hearing and a finding by the court that the
35defendant does not have the financial ability to pay the nominal
36fee, the court shall waive this fee. The payment of the fee shall be
37made a condition of probation if the court determines the defendant
38has the present ability to pay the fee. The fee shall be paid during
39the term of probation unless the program sets other conditions.
P15 1The acceptance
policies shall be in accordance with the scaled fee
2system.
3(2) The court shall refer persons only to batterer’s programs
4that have been approved by the probation department pursuant to
5paragraph (5). The probation department shall do both of the
6following:
7(A) Provide for the issuance of a provisional approval, provided
8that the applicant is in substantial compliance with applicable laws
9and regulations and an urgent need for approval exists. A
10provisional approval shall be considered an authorization to provide
11services and shall not be considered a vested right.
12(B) If the probation department determines that a program is
13not in compliance with standards set by the department, the
14department shall provide written
notice of the noncompliant areas
15to the program. The program shall submit a written plan of
16corrections within 14 days from the date of the written notice on
17noncompliance. A plan of correction shall include, but not be
18limited to, a description of each corrective action and timeframe
19for implementation. The department shall review and approve all
20or any part of the plan of correction and notify the program of
21approval or disapproval in writing. If the program fails to submit
22a plan of correction or fails to implement the approved plan of
23correction, the department shall consider whether to revoke or
24suspend approval and, upon revoking or suspending approval, shall
25have the option to cease referrals of defendants under this section.
26(3) No program, regardless of its source of funding, shall be
27approved unless it meets all of the following
standards:
28(A) The establishment of guidelines and criteria for education
29services, including standards of services that may include lectures,
30classes, and group discussions.
31(B) Supervision of the defendant for the purpose of evaluating
32the person’s progress in the program.
33(C) Adequate reporting requirements to ensure that all persons
34who, after being ordered to attend and complete a program, may
35be identified for either failure to enroll in, or failure to successfully
36complete, the program or for the successful completion of the
37program as ordered. The program shall notify the court and the
38probation department, in writing, within the period of time and in
39the manner specified by the court of any person who fails
to
40complete the program. Notification shall be given if the program
P16 1determines that the defendant is performing unsatisfactorily or if
2the defendant is not benefiting from the education, treatment, or
3counseling.
4(D) No victim shall be compelled to participate in a program
5or counseling, and no program may condition a defendant’s
6enrollment on participation by the victim.
7(4) In making referrals of indigent defendants to approved
8batterer’s programs, the probation department shall apportion these
9referrals evenly among the approved programs.
10(5) The probation department shall have the sole authority to
11approve a batterer’s program for probation. The program shall be
12required to obtain only one approval but shall renew that
approval
13annually.
14(A) The procedure for the approval of a new or existing program
15shall include all of the following:
16(i) The completion of a written application containing necessary
17and pertinent information describing the applicant program.
18(ii) The demonstration by the program that it possesses adequate
19administrative and operational capability to operate a batterer’s
20treatment program. The program shall provide documentation to
21prove that the program has conducted batterer’s programs for at
22least one year prior to application. This requirement may be waived
23under subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) if there is no existing
24batterer’s program in the city, county, or city and county.
25(iii) The onsite review of the program, including monitoring of
26a session to determine that the program adheres to applicable
27statutes and regulations.
28(iv) The payment of the approval fee.
29(B) The probation department shall fix a fee for approval not
30to exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250) and for approval renewal
31not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250) every year in an
32amount sufficient to cover its costs in administering the approval
33process under this section. No fee shall be charged for the approval
34of local governmental entities.
35(C) The probation department has the sole authority to approve
36the issuance, denial, suspension, or revocation of
approval and to
37cease new enrollments or referrals to a batterer’s program under
38this section. The probation department shall review information
39relative to a program’s performance or failure to adhere to
40standards, or both. The probation department may suspend or
P17 1revoke an approval issued under this subdivision or deny an
2application to renew an approval or to modify the terms and
3conditions of approval, based on grounds established by probation,
4including, but not limited to, either of the following:
5(i) Violation of this section by any person holding approval or
6by a program employee in a program under this section.
7(ii) Misrepresentation of any material fact in obtaining the
8approval.
9(6) For defendants who are
chronic users or serious abusers of
10drugs or alcohol, standard components in the program shall include
11concurrent counseling for substance abuse and violent behavior,
12and in appropriate cases, detoxification and abstinence from the
13abused substance.
14(7) The program shall conduct an exit conference that assesses
15the defendant’s progress during his or her participation in the
16batterer’s program.
17(d) An act or omission relating to the approval of a batterer’s
18treatment program under paragraph (5) of subdivision (c) is a
19discretionary act pursuant to Section 820.2 of the Government
20Code.
Section 1203.47 of the Penal Code is amended to read:

27in Section 781 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, except that,
28as pertaining to any records regarding the commission of an offense
29described in subdivision (b) of Section 647 or in Section 653.22,
30it shall not be a requirement in granting the petition for the person
31to show that he or she has not been convicted of a felony or of any
32misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or that rehabilitation has
33been attained to the satisfaction of
the court. Upon granting the
34petition, all records relating to the violation or violations of
35subdivision (b) of Section 647 or of Section 653.22, or both, shall
36be sealed pursuant to Section 781 of the Welfare and Institutions
37Code.
38(b) The relief provided by this section does not apply to a person
39adjudicated pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 647 or of Section
40653.22 who paid money or any other valuable thing, or attempted
P18 1to pay money or any other valuable thing, to any person for the
2purpose of prostitution as defined in subdivision (b) of Section
3647.
4(c) This section applies to adjudications that occurred before,
5as well as those that occur after, the effective date of this section.
6(d) A petition
granted pursuant to this section does not authorize
7the sealing of any part of a person’s record that is unrelated to a
8violation of subdivision (b) of Section 647, Section 653.22, or
9both.
Section 1233.1 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
After the conclusion of each calendar year following
12the enactment of this section, the Director of Finance, in
13consultation with the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation,
14the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, the Chief Probation
15Officers of California, and the Administrative Office of the Courts,
16shall calculate the following for that calendar year:
17(a) The cost to the state to incarcerate in prison and supervise
18on parole a probationer sent to prison. This calculation shall take
19into consideration factors, including, but not limited to, the average
20length of stay in prison and on parole for probationers, as well as
21the associated parole revocation rates, and revocation costs.
22(b) The statewide probation failure to prison rate. The statewide
23probation failure to prison rate shall be calculated as the total
24number of adult felony probationers statewide sent to prison in the
25previous year as a percentage of the average statewide adult felony
26probation population for that year.
27(c) A probation failure to prison rate for each county. Each
28county’s probation failure to prison rate shall be calculated as the
29number of adult felony probationers sent to prison from that county
30in the previous year as a percentage of the county’s average adult
31felony probation population for that year.
32(d) An estimate of the number of adult felony probationers each
33county successfully prevented from being sent to prison.
For each
34county, this estimate shall be calculated based on the reduction in
35the county’s probation failure to prison rate as calculated annually
36
pursuant to subdivision (c) of this section and the county’s baseline
37probation failure rate as calculated pursuant to Section 1233. In
38making this estimate, the Director of Finance, in consultation with
39the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the Joint
40Legislative Budget Committee, the Chief Probation Officers of
P19 1California, and the Administrative Office of the Courts, shall adjust
2the calculations to account for changes in each county’s adult
3felony probation caseload in the most recent completed calendar
4year as compared to the county’s adult felony probation population
5during the period 2006 to 2008, inclusive.
6(e) In calculating probation failure to prison rates for the state
7and individual counties, the number of adult felony probationers
8sent to prison shall include those adult felony probationers sent to
9state
prison for a revocation of probation, as well as adult felony
10probationers sent to state prison for a conviction of a new felony
11offense. The calculation shall also include adult felony probationers
12who are sent to prison for conviction of a new crime and who
13simultaneously have their probation terms terminated.
Section 1305.4 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
Notwithstanding Section 1305, the surety insurer, the
16bail agent, the surety, or the depositor may file a motion, based
17upon good cause, for an order extending the 180-day period
18provided in that section. The motion shall include a declaration or
19affidavit that states the reasons showing good cause to extend that
20period. The court, upon a hearing and a showing of good cause,
21may order the period extended to a time not exceeding 180 days
22from its order. A motion may be filed and calendared as provided
23in subdivision (j) of Section 1305. In addition to any other notice
24required by law, the moving party shall give the prosecuting agency
25a written notice at least 10 court days before a hearing held
26pursuant to this section as a condition precedent to granting the
27motion.

10from the Peace Officers’ Training Fund. This section is declaratory
11of existing law.
Section 726 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is
14amended to
read:
(a) In all cases in which a minor is adjudged a ward or
16dependent child of the court, the court may limit the control to be
17exercised over the ward or dependent child by any parent or
18guardian and shall in its order, clearly and specifically set forth all
19those limitations, but no ward or dependent child shall be taken
20from the physical custody of a parent or guardian, unless upon the
21hearing the court finds one of the following facts:
22(1) That the parent or guardian is incapable of providing or has
23failed or neglected to provide proper maintenance, training, and
24education for the minor.
25(2) That the minor has been tried on
probation while in custody
26and has failed to reform.
27(3) That the welfare of the minor requires that custody be taken
28from the minor’s parent or guardian.
29(b) Whenever the court specifically limits the right of the parent
30or guardian to make educational or developmental services
31decisions for the minor, the court shall at the same time appoint a
32responsible adult to make educational or developmental services
33decisions for the child until one of the following occurs:
34(1) The minor reaches 18 years of age, unless the child chooses
35not to make educational or developmental services decisions for
36himself or herself, or is deemed by the court to be incompetent.
37(2) Another responsible adult is appointed to make educational
38or developmental services decisions for the minor pursuant to this
39section.
P23 1(3) The right of the parent or guardian to make educational or
2developmental services decisions for the minor is fully restored.
3(4) A successor guardian or conservator is appointed.
4(5) The child is placed into a planned permanent living
5arrangement pursuant to paragraph (5) or (6) of subdivision (b) of
6Section 727.3, at which time, for educational decisionmaking, the
7foster parent, relative caretaker, or nonrelative extended family
8member as defined in Section 362.7 has the right to represent the
9child in educational matters pursuant to Section 56055 of the
10Education
Code, and for decisions relating to developmental
11services, unless the court specifies otherwise, the foster parent,
12relative caregiver, or nonrelative extended family member of the
13planned permanent living arrangement has the right to represent
14the child in matters related to developmental services.
15(c) An individual who would have a conflict of interest in
16representing the child, as specified under federal regulations, may
17not be appointed to make educational decisions. The limitations
18applicable to conflicts of interest for educational rights holders
19shall also apply to authorized representatives for developmental
20services decisions pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 4701.6.
21For purposes of this section, “an individual who would have a
22conflict of interest,” means a person having any interests that might
23restrict or bias his or
her ability to make educational or
24developmental services decisions, including, but not limited to,
25those conflicts of interest prohibited by Section 1126 of the
26Government Code, and the receipt of compensation or attorneys’
27fees for the provision of services pursuant to this section. A foster
28parent may not be deemed to have a conflict of interest solely
29because he or she receives compensation for the provision of
30services pursuant to this section.
31(1) If the court limits the parent’s educational rights pursuant
32to subdivision (a), the court shall determine whether there is a
33responsible adult who is a relative, nonrelative extended family
34member, or other adult known to the child and who is available
35and willing to serve as the child’s educational representative before
36appointing an educational representative or surrogate who is not
37known
to the child.
38If the court cannot identify a responsible adult who is known to
39the child and available to make educational decisions for the child
40and paragraphs (1) to (5), inclusive, of subdivision (b) do not apply,
P24 1and the child has either been referred to the local educational
2agency for special education and related services, or has a valid
3individualized education program, the court shall refer the child
4to the local educational agency for appointment of a surrogate
5parent pursuant to Section 7579.5 of the Government Code.
6(2) All educational and school placement decisions shall seek
7to ensure that the child is in the least restrictive educational
8programs and has access to the academic resources, services, and
9extracurricular and enrichment activities that are available to all
10pupils.
In all instances, educational and school placement decisions
11shall be based on the best interests of the child. If an educational
12representative or surrogate is appointed for the child, the
13representative or surrogate shall meet with the child, shall
14investigate the child’s educational needs and whether those needs
15are being met, and shall, prior to each review hearing held under
16Article 10 (commencing with Section 360), provide information
17and recommendations concerning the child’s educational needs to
18the child’s social worker, make written recommendations to the
19court, or attend the hearing and participate in those portions of the
20hearing that concern the child’s education.
21(3) Nothing in this section in any way removes the obligation
22to appoint surrogate parents for students with disabilities who are
23without parental representation
in special education procedures as
24required by state and federal law, including Section 1415(b)(2) of
25Title 20 of the United States Code, Section 56050 of the Education
26Code, Section 7579.5 of the Government Code, and Rule 5.650
27of the California Rules of Court.
28If the court appoints a developmental services decisionmaker
29pursuant to this section, he or she shall have the authority to access
30the child’s information and records pursuant to subdivision (u) of
31Section 4514 and subdivision (y) of Section 5328, and to act on
32the child’s behalf for the purposes of the individual program plan
33process pursuant to Sections 4646, 4646.5, and 4648 and the fair
34hearing process pursuant to Chapter 7 (commencing with Section
354700) of Division 4.5, and as set forth in the court order.
36(d) If the minor is removed from the
physical custody of his or
37her parent or guardian as the result of an order of wardship made
38pursuant to Section 602, the order shall specify that the minor may
39not be held in physical confinement for a period in excess of the
40maximum term of imprisonment which could be imposed upon an
P25 1adult convicted of the offense or offenses which brought or
2continued the minor under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court.
3As used in this section and in Section 731, “maximum term of
4imprisonment” means the longest of the three time periods set
5forth in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1170 of the
6Penal Code, but without the need to follow the provisions of
7subdivision (b) of Section 1170 of the Penal Code or to consider
8time for good behavior or participation pursuant to Sections 2930,
92931, and 2932 of the Penal Code, plus enhancements which must
10be proven
if pled.
11If the court elects to aggregate the period of physical confinement
12on multiple counts or multiple petitions, including previously
13sustained petitions adjudging the minor a ward within Section 602,
14the “maximum term of imprisonment” shall be the aggregate term
15of imprisonment specified in subdivision (a) of Section 1170.1 of
16the Penal Code, which includes any additional term imposed
17pursuant to Section 667, 667.5, 667.6, or 12022.1 of the Penal
18Code, and Section 11370.2 of the Health and Safety Code.
19If the charged offense is a misdemeanor or a felony not included
20within the scope of Section 1170 of the Penal Code, the “maximum
21term of imprisonment” is the longest term of imprisonment
22prescribed by law.
23“Physical confinement” means placement in a juvenile hall,
24ranch,
camp, forestry camp or secure juvenile home pursuant to
25Section 730, or in any institution operated by the Youth Authority.
26This section does not limit the power of the court to retain
27jurisdiction over a minor and to make appropriate orders pursuant
28to Section 727 for the period permitted by Section 607.
