INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Rodriguez

   An act to add Section 13022.5 to the Penal Code, relating to
criminal justice.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 71, as introduced, Rodriguez. Criminal justice: reporting.
   Existing law requires each sheriff and police chief to annually
furnish a report to the Department of Justice on justifiable
homicides.
   This bill would require each sheriff and police chief to annually
furnish a report to the Department of Justice on shootings that
involve peace officers and result in the injury or death of an
individual or a peace officer. By imposing new duties on local
agencies, the 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.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 13022.5 is added to the Penal Code, to read:
   13022.5.  Each sheriff and chief of police shall annually furnish
to the Department of Justice, in the manner prescribed by the
Attorney General, a report of all instances when a peace officer is
involved in shootings that occur in his or her jurisdiction where an
individual or a peace officer is injured or killed. In cases where
both a sheriff and chief of police would be required to report an
officer involved shooting under this section, only the chief of
police shall report the instance.
  SEC. 2.  If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this
act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local
agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant
to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of
the Government Code.
