INTRODUCED BY   Senator Anderson

                        FEBRUARY 3, 2014

   An act to  amend Section 647 of   add Section
1202.9   to  the Penal Code, relating to 
disorderly conduct   probation  .


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 933, as amended, Anderson.  Disorderly conduct.
  Probation.  
   Existing law defines "probation" as the suspension of the
imposition or execution of a sentence and the order of conditional
and revocable release into the community. Existing law requires a
person placed on probation to be under the supervision of the county
probation officer, and authorizes that officer to determine the level
and type of supervision consistent with the conditions of probation
ordered by the court.  
   This bill would require, by an unspecified date, the chief
probation officer in each county to establish a protocol for the
imposition of graduated sanctions for violations of the conditions of
probation. By imposing additional requirements on county probation
officers, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
 
   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 provides that a person is guilty of disorderly
conduct, a misdemeanor, based on various acts, including when a
person solicits or agrees to engage in or engages in any act of
prostitution, as specified.  
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that
provision. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program:  no
  yes  .
