           SENATE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE  :  7-0, 4/30/13
          AYES:  Hancock, Anderson, Block, De León, Knight, Liu, Steinberg


           SUBJECT  :    Crimes

           SOURCE  :     California District Attorneys Association


           DIGEST  :    This bill makes technical and corrective changes to  
          various code sections relating generally to criminal justice  
          laws, as specified.

           ANALYSIS  :    Existing law provides that restitution fines and  
          orders may not be satisfied by the time a defendant is  
          incarcerated.  (Penal Code Sec. 1205(f).)  However, there is a  
          conflicting statute where this prohibition is not clear.  (Penal  
          Code Sec. 2900.5.)

          This bill clarifies that term of imprisonment cannot satisfy a  
          restitution fine.

          Existing law provides that any city, county, city and county or  
          district which desires to receive state aid from the Peace  
          Officers' Training Fund shall apply to the Commission on Peace  
          Officers Standards and Training for the aid.  (Penal Code Sec.  
          13522.)
                                                                CONTINUED





                                                                     SB 514
                                                                     Page

          This bill clarifies that a joint powers agency may also apply  
          for such aid and defines joint power agency.

          This bill makes a number of cross-reference and technical  
          changes in the Penal Code and Welfare and Institutions Code.

           Comments
           
          This is the annual omnibus bill.  In past years, the omnibus  
          bill has been introduced by all members of the Committee on  
          Public Safety.  This bill is similar to the ones introduced as  
          Committee bills in the past in that it has been introduced with  
          the following understanding:

                 The bill's provisions make only technical or minor  
               changes to the law; and

                 There is no opposition by any member of the Legislature  
               or recognized group to the proposal.

                 This procedure has allowed for introduction of fewer  
               minor bills and has saved the Legislature time and expense  
               over the years.
